Jack Reacher - the books - the brother !

And I thought it was just me! Also adored the "old" Reacher, avoided the films with the mono-browed midget (loathsome little worm) but adored the TV series - and I do not like what the brother is doing to him! When, for instance, did he get this interest in music...? For the first time, I think I'll borrow the latest one from the library rather than buy it and if you are all right, then thats me finished. Maybe we should all start writing to Lee Child?

Reported. Yet another resurrected post to promote a product.?

Agree BeEmerald. Consumed every Reacher book by Lee Child at a rate of knots but am not impressed by the ones his brother's had an input with.

My husband an avid Jack Reacher fan, would definitely agree! not as good I'm told.

Apologies to all - just realised my spelling mistake - should have said ‘ handing over the reins ‘ not reigns. I must be getting too excited after reading about Charles in the paper.
AGAA4 - you are absolutely right - the new version of Reacher isn’t as likeable as the original.

Good to read these posts. I read all the Reacher books and really enjoyed them. I purposely haven't read any co written by his brother as I didn't want to be disappointed. I won't be reading them now.

I have read all the ones that his brother co-wrote but there is a difference.
The original Reacher just got involved in bad situations and didn't go looking for violence. I think the new Reacher does. I don't like him as much. I have read every book now but may not read another.

My husband recently fetched my box of Jack Reacher books out of the loft (he was intending to bin them all ????) and I am now looking forward to reading them all again this summer! Loved both films with Tom Cruise & also the tv series.
I’ve not got the latest co-written books and tbh may not bother?

Yes,I agree too.Have just started Better Off Dead and am struggling to get into it.
