Lee Child, the British writer of Jack Reacher novels, which have sold more than 100m copies worldwide, said: âI can totally understand why, if youâre an English teacher and youâve read all your life and you love this stuff and youâve been to university, then you want to introduce the big, major masterpieces. But thatâs too much for kids.â Continue reading...
