I started reading it, but stopped... mostly because I no longer have access to the books :P It was good though, I'd recommend it.

Love Lee Child. He has got a new book coming out in September I think it is. You can read the first 3 chapters on his website :)
Also if anyone hasn't read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series I seriously recommend it

I've read the whole series & all of S.K's book. 50+.

The Dark Tower has characters & elements from his other novels. So I recommend reading his other works before reading the Dark Tower. That's what I did. Especially "Insomnia."

Quality.  8)

I downloaded an audio book copy of the first Dark Tower book if i was to listen non stop it would take 6 hours.....

Zarts

unfortunately, I have like 1gb left to last me the month, so audio books arent really feasible :P

Cicjose

i don't download a lot of music im more of a cd man myself.....

so entertaining myself with functions other than just music is fun

Some info for the Lee Child fans (going by this thread just me and naste). They are creating a movie out of the book One Shot, which should be released in 2013. I was extremely excited to hear this as I have thought they would make great movies, until I heard who would be playing Jack Reacher...

For those who don't know who the character is, he is an ex military cop, standing 6 foot 5 inches tall (195cm) and weighs around 240 pounds (108kg) of all muscle. So which actors do you think would suit this type of role?

I would have thought people like:
• Daniel Craig (although short they can easily make him look taller in the movie)


• Gerard Butler (showed in 300 he can be pretty ripped)


• Chris Evans (looks pretty big in Captain America)


They are just some examples I can think of at the moment, you could even put in John Cena (certainly not the worst actor even though he is a wrestler, and has the body).

But do they cast someone like that? No! They go ahead and cast TOM CRUISE!!! I mean what the hell? Cruise is almost a foot shorter than Reacher and would weigh about 30kgs less!! Probably the worst cast in history!! >:( >:( >:(
