[h=4]Similarities between Lee Child and his protagonist[edit][/h]Numerous critics have pointed out the various similarities between Lee Child and his creation, Jack Reacher. Bryan Curtis writing for Grantland and Natasha Harding and Caroline Iggulden, in a separate article for The Sun, have brought out the various similarities between Child and Reacher: Child is 6 ft 4 in tall while his protagonist stands at a similar 6 ft 5 in, both writer and creation consume "incessant amounts of coffee", Child "lives in cheap pairs of jeans and T-shirts and says the idea of buying expensive clothes is ?crazy? to him" just like Reacher and that "Jack Reacher?s famous physical qualities are based on Lee?s playground memories as a child".[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP] Lee Child has stated, "I was huge as a kid and Reacher's stature is me translated as a kid. I enjoyed being bigger and fighting shamelessly. I've done a fair amount of headbutting. It's an awesome manoeuvre."[SUP][note 1][/SUP] Andy Martin notes that "just as Reacher is half-Rimbaud, half-Rambo, Child is both art-for-art's-sake Parnassian and ruthless businessman."[SUP][9[/SUP]

Jason Bourne. Probably because I actually read the book years before. Never read a Reacher book. I am sure he is hell on supressive persons though.
