I love that he types like me - and yet manages to write so many books. No pretention at touch typing or looking at the screen and not the keyboard. I have been watching this video thinking that Lee reminds me of someone, and it has just dawned on me who it is. There is a passing resemblance 'twixt him and Peter Mandleson.
How tall is Lee Child (James Grant), he would make an awesome Reacher and I always connect Lee to Reacher, they are each other. I simply love these Reacher novels. I hope he never quits but continues with his brother Andrew to write them
They say the odds are against you as a writer. The truth is most people are just bad writer, and they still get published. So if you can lay it down, you have a good chance of being printed.
Dolf Lundren is the most perfect Jack Reacher you could hope for !!! it is though Reacher was designed around Dolf . He IS 6ft 5 inc, he is 250 ibs, his colouring is perfect, he has years of action man movies experience , he is Jack Reacher,
You know, I didn't see Cruise as Reacher, either...but then nobody wanted Craig for Bond, other for that matter, NOBODY (not even Fleming) wanted Connery for Bond. I'm beginning to think that the real reason people don't want Cruise is more about Cruise's off-screen antics than really his size. Look...either get past it and watch the movie, or don't, and keep reading the books. Truth is, there's NOTHING us fans can do about it.
Totally, he's like the physical oposite of Jack Reacher from those books! and for me, he's also kinda the reason why I'm not looking forward to watch it...
Did you see how he was typing??? Pecking....like he didn't know how to work his fingers on the keyboard?! Dean Koontz also writes the same way...pecking on the keyboard? How do you write such long books pecking at the keyboard?! Interesting....
Nothing wrong with that. Would have made for great movies if the cast the right actor for the role. Instead they cast Tom Cruise so now his novels and his movies are shit.

I have read almost all his Reacher novel atleast three times now. Big fan here.
Lee Child makes a better Reacher than Tom Cruise. I really don't get the casting at all
Don't worry they recast Jack Reacher in the Reacher TV show with Alan Ritchson who fits the character description from the books
@@liamcoyne2137 Cruise plays the Lilliputian ''Jack Reacher'' battling anyone under 5 feet tall!🤣🤣
Jack reacher reaches into my mind and takes me on a journey I want to be his best friend thanks Lee for taking me on those journeys lul x
Lee Child, a writers writer.👌
He does not write "mystery" books. I have read them all and love him but they are "thrillers".

That Aussie looks just like Lee Child, except more beef.
In the philippines they are not available yet in the 'National Bookstore' one of the only stores that sells books
Another great author with an astonishing first life then second is Patrick O'Brian.

Too old though.
Maybe he will show up in Reacher one day, as friend or foe
Why cast 5 ft 6 Tommy Cruise as 6 ft 5 Jack Reacher.
Dyslexia
They've got a wax dummy of him (Cruise) at Siam Paragon in Bangkok. He looks exactly the same.
5 letters answer your question... MONEY. Sad, but true.
Big star for a big film

Well weren't you wrong lol
Greatness.
Great!
Jack Reacher is supposed to be a real big guy....about 6'5"......How did they come up with Tom Cruise???
Don’t worry there making a Reacher tv show with Alan Ritchson who accurately fits the character description
Ashamed to be nowhere near Reacher. Go Jack go.
That Japanese book was held upside down.
Totally, he's like the physical oposite of Jack Reacher from those books! and for me, he's also kinda the reason why I'm not looking forward to watch it...
Yes Great!

Interesting....
This man types like me! Finger, press, locate, finger, press…
How does he know so much about US military culture?
he said in an interview with stephen king that he dosent and just makes most of it up
Elmore Leonard is a real writer of modern fiction. This guy's a graffiti artists at best.
You bet they will!
Tomr Cruise is nothing like Jack Reacher :P
Lee Child doesn't write novels, he writes movie scripts. At ebst, he is a good screenwriter, nothing more
allxtar music Everyone has their own prose.
Nothing wrong with that. Would have made for great movies if the cast the right actor for the role.
Instead they cast Tom Cruise so now his novels and his movies are shit.
@@haitianxu I'm sure he won't lose too much sleep over your jealousy!
40 to 50 million people may disagree. How are your books going?
Probably so. But it worked for him. And screenplays are even harder to write. Even Fitzgerald had a difficult time trying to become a screen writer
Such an overrated writer.
Greatness.
