I read the original two books and liked them.

What surprised me was when the movie was announced. I was thinking it would take some ex-wrestler or maybe a Hugh Jackman big guy to do the role. Instead, as we know, it was Tom Cruise.

The books focused often on how wide and tall he was and how that affected how people dealt (or chose not to deal) with him.

I thought it was a sellout to cast Cruise as Reacher.

I like the Lee Child written Reacher books a lot more than the Andrew Child one's but this one is OK.

I could not finish The Sentinel.
