Ordinarily I'm not much on adventure/violence thrillers, but I had heard outraged comments that Tom Cruise is to play Jack Reacher in the movies, so I wanted to see what the fuss was about. To my surprise, this is a very good book. Lee Child really knows how to structure a story. It held my interest to the end.

And now that I've read the book, I can agree -- unless he grows a foot or two, or they use Lord of the Rings style special effects on him -- no disrespect to his acting abilities, but Tom Cruise can't be the Jack Reacher of the books.

I'm going get some more books in this series.
