Book Review of One Shot (Jack Reacher, Bk 9)

Okay, this is the book that they have made into a movie. Which I can see why. I like it but I'm curious if they are going to update it. Meaning, the year this story occurs. During this time, regular cell phones and not smart phones are being used in the story. Will the story be set in the year the story is set in the book or will they update it?

Aside from that, again, I had fun with the story, it was exciting and Child is great with providing details that make it easy to follow. The final climax of the mystery is a little, just a little, hokey but I still had fun. Now, the reason behind Reacher getting a little *ahem* action himself during the story was a little weak and forced but, hey, I can't complain too much.

I was flipping channels and caught a few minutes of Knight and Day. I know, a bad movie but I wanted to get a visual of what Reacher might look like on screen. I have to admit that I can see a little of what Reacher would like, I just wish Cruise was taller. Will his hair be blonde and will he have blue eyes? (Does Cruise have blue eyes? I haven't really noticed). I think the Reacher novels would work better as a TV series.

Anyhoo, I will continue to reach the Jack Reacker novels and I'm happy to say that I've just ordered The Hard Way. I love Jack Reacher!

Happy reading!!! =)
