Just started reading the books

I picked up "Gone Tomorrow" my first Reacher book about a month ago, and have read 3 others since. Amazing books. The movie turned me onto them. I will first like to say that I may be new to the books, but I really haven't understood all the hate for Tom Cruise(I'm no fan myself). Yeah he deff. isnt the right height or size, but he still portrayed the character wonderfully. I also don't get why people say he doesn't wisecrack like he did in the movie...Yes he does...3 of the books I've read he's had plenty of wisecracking. Killing Floor, not so much. Lol. Whatever fans of the book don't want to see this movie due to his size are deff. missing out.

As an actor, I think Cruise is OK. What I really like is the movies he's in. This one is no exception. Like you, I started reading after seeing the movie. Read Killing Floor, Worth Dying For, One Shot, and now started 61 Hours. They're great. I actually think I like the movie better than the book. Either way, I give a damn that Cruise doesn't match the size. It would have been nice, but I think he pulled it off.
