I've read every single of Lee Child's books and absolutely LOVE IT!!! In fact it is only fiction I ever really enjoy and cannot wait for the next book to come out.
 
WTF?! 60 reader and yet no reply?! Why would anyone come into a thread if it is about a character they have no idea about?
 
Maybe it is because nobody knows who Jack Reacher or Lee Child is... I don't.. plus even though it shows i'm on AD. i might be sleeping. and i'm sure other people stay signed on too.. even when they are away from PC

what made you think that we have no idea about it. maybe some of us have heard about it and may not care about it but check it out to see what you were saying but all you say you love this book.
 
I was just asking if there was any other fan here. They can have say no. It just amaze me that there's so many people checking out a thread on subject they have no idea about.
 
I might have have read a Lee Child book several years ago. I vaguely remember Jack Reacher.

Well, there are so many good fictional characters by good authors as well.

Chill, dude. Some people may not know who Reacher is or Lee Childs is. Also, not everybody reads. People here like to see what a thread is about but they don't necessarily reply. That's OK.


At any rate, I HAVE read Lee Childs and am familiar with the Reacher series. I'm also not a big fan. Too dry and takes too long for me to get into the plot. Lee Childs writes a lot like Tom Clancy, and, I could never get into HIS books, either.

I've also read and LIKED: John Sanford, Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, and Jonathan Keller. I've been a reader for years.
 
Personally I have not heard of either Lee Childs or Jack Reacher.

I do a lot of reading, but never came across this author.

I have all the books, and they are excellent!! He's a hell of a lot more violent in the last one...almost like he's getting fed up with all the corruption he finds and he's going all out. He's a great character and I would love to see an HBO series with Reacher. :rockon:

I would love to be like Reacher...


I keep up with Reacher and James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux books. Burke's books are beautifully written; word painting.

Have you read Burke's last Robicheaux book?

YES! Tore my heart out! There was something about this book that just made it clear that "The End Is Nigh..." I don't want to give any spoilers, but this one and Tin Roof Blowdown had a very deep impact on me.

I'm going to reread it this week.

I read it, too. I don't know what to think! I'm not going to spoil it, either, but WOW!

I will when I can get it from the library. Right now it's too popular.

Has anyone read James Lee Burke's Billy Bob Holland books?

I think I read all but one. The one with his relative, Hack Holland in Rain Gods is very good, too.

Just remembered...in one of the Reacher books Reacher leaves the apartment of a Seattle lawyer, or Asst. District Attorney (I forget which), after a night of sex, and that female character is a character created by Alafair Burke, JLB's daughter in her first couple of books. It was a nod to her because on her website (or somewhere) Alafair made a comment that she loved Jack Reacher.

I don't know what to think, either...I was open-mouthed when I finished it. Very, very few books do that to me. Lord, what is he going to do next?? He hasn't said anything on his website.

My Dad thinks he's stepping aside and letting Alafair Burke have the limelight for awhile. I'm sure, though, that JLB will continue writing. I can't see him retiring, but then, he is in his 70s. So, who knows?

That's very possible. I don't see him retiring, either. Alafair is a good writer, but then I've only read two of her books (her first two). She has definitely learned from a Master, though.

I think JLB said last year that he was writing a Holland book next, though I wish he wouldn't. Helluva cliffhanger to leave the Robicheaux fans with!

He positively nails south Louisiana, though. I think if anything...he should let Lee Child finish the series with Reacher coming down and helping him. They all know one another from book tours. Lee Child has also acknowledged Robicheaux in his first or second book, I think, when Reacher or his brother made a comment about an "old detective in Louisiana" and his fat pardner.

Funny how that shakes out, eh podjo?
