I think that the sentence at the end of the biography shouldn't read "n Bad Luck and Trouble he is revealed to have a fascination with mathematics," due to the fact that his fascination is truly showed the first time in Die Trying, the second book in the series. He goes off on a wild tanget for three pages in a paperback book. How should that be phrased? --Suriyawong 5:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Suriyawong (talk • contribs)

Is Reacher's mother French or Dutch? --PeterMarkSmith 01:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

French

I read Killing Floors six years ago now and I became a real Jack Reacher addict. I enjoy both Lee Child’s writing and his imaginative stories. I think he’s a remarkable man and I’ve found some really interesting interviews on this new web-site: www.jackreacher.co.uk. Bradleyjohn 17:42, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

In "The Hard Way" Reacher also went to England

[edit] Merger proposed (The Hard Way (novel))

The result was: Merge. I will merge the one article for now, but merging the other novel articles may be a good idea too. --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I propose to merge the content of The Hard Way (novel) into here, since the notability of that article has been questioned. In fact, the article consists only of plot summary (see WP:NOT#PLOT), and no secondary sources are given. So it might be best to merge the plot summary to an article about the series.

Please add your comments below. Proposed as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 16:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I would agree. Having looked at the entries of all the other Jack Reacher novels, I think for right now the best thing to do would be to merge all of the entries for the novels into the Reacher article. Except for Killing Floor, they're all stubs, some of them no longer than a sentence.RedPen
