I admit it. After reading the Killing Floor (see previous post) I've binge-read the existing Jack Reacher books and I enjoyed them all.
   No 3 son and I watched a Jack Reacher film from Sky Cinema, starring Tom Cruise as Reacher, and thought it was - well, better than we expected. So I got a book, enjoyed it, got another one, enjoyed it.... No 3 son now has the complete set in his room, though he hasn't started reading them yet.
   I read recently that Tom Cruise isn't going to feature in future film productions. Why? Because he's only five foot something in his cotton socks, and Reacher is supposed to be six five and built like a barn door. Will be interesting to see who finally fits that bill.
   The books are macho thriller-cum-mystery excitement, with plenty of violence but some thoughtful plots too. Try one. If you like it, there are another 19 or so to keep you busy for a while.
