I finished reading One Shot by Lee Child. It is the ninth book of the Jack Reacher series. It was the book that the movie Jack Reacher was LOOSELY based on. I really liked the book. I just hope that the new Jack Reacher movie will be more like the book it is based on.
Here are the differences (there are alot of them):
1. James Barr wakes up in the middle of the investigation and talks to Jack. (he wakes up at the end of the movie)
2. The doctor tending to James puts on his chart that he has early onset of Parkinson's disease which meant he wasn't the shooter.
3. the cop was not black.
4. Jack Reacher is a tall man.
5. James' sister gets kidnapped, not the lawyer.
6. Upon saving her, Jack had help from a journalist, the lawyer, Cash, and the
PI (who wasn't in the movie).
7. The target victim wasn't wanting selling her husband's company like the movie. Her husband was missing, and she was asking questions about the disappearance.
8. The Zec wasn't killed at the end. He was arrested with the cop.
I put Never Go Back by Lee Child on hold. It's an audiobook.I'm next in line for it. It's the 18th book of the Jack Reacher series.

I've read quite a few of the Lee Child Jack Reacher books and love them. I was disappointed in the movie though
