I was wondering what the military community members here thought of the character. Jack Reacher character.

Gonna make a point to check them out Response by CW3(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 15 at 2019 9:33 AM 2019-01-15T09:33:24-05:00 2019-01-15T09:33:24-05:00 CPT Lawrence Cable 4288388 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I like the novels, although the author certainly hasn&#39;t done any Army time and he is just a bit out there on weapons. If you read the novels first, you realize that Tom Cruise is not a good choice for the 6&#39;5&quot; 200 LBS + Jack Reacher.

They really hit the nail on the head here. Reminds me a lot of myself.<br /><br />But seriously. I enjoy the movies but anytime you&#39;ve got one guy who is an expert at EVERYTHING it tends to get a little unbelievable. But that&#39;s what makes it entertaining.

My only thought it is that his name isn&#39;t very good. Sounds vaguely obscene.

They are mostly entertaining. Definitely something to read if you are a book junkie and enjoy mysteries and action combined.
