I've read about ten of these and you don't need to read it in order. One of the best ones is Worth Dying For. Those particular villians needed sorting out and naturally Reacher doesn't let the side down.

Once you start that series big bad Jack Reacher gets you right in. Great read

Still cant believe they went with Tom Cruise for that role

Lol no it ain't a picture book. The code of fighting in hockey is an unwritten. You are taught it on the ice or by othergoons or team mates.

Crazy bastard. Struggling to put it down.


By coincidence I am currently reading this too. Supposedly true story but I have my doubts. Style of writing grates a bit too, "Richard returned home after dumping the bodies, had a turkey on rye sandwich and went to bed" (paraphrasing) These things happened 40 years ago and he can remember what type of sandwich he ate!?.


I put this on my Kindle a couple of months ago but havn't read it yet. Will get onto it as soon as I can now.

I read that one a while ago. Great story. Story or fact, though? I questioned as well.

I have read this one and I reckon there is a fair amount of BS coming from Kulkinski to the author. Good read though.

Mate just done his ACL and I want to get him a book to read post-op. Any recommendations? Sport-influenced, possibly inspirational. David Schwarz's book comes to mind, anything else?
