Book Reviews of Point of Impact
Book Review: Bob Lee Swagger - a man of honor
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommended this book to all my friends and they all have thanked me profusely after reading it. This is the best book I have ever read. Bob Lee Swagger captures perfectly my concept of true heroism, bravery and honor- the things that made America great. Read it- I guarantee you will scramble to read the sequel: Blacklight.Book Review: Bob Lee Swagger a murderer???
Summary: 1 Stars
"Point of Impact" is one of my favorite books and I have read all of Stephen Hunters earlier and later works. They are not all gems for those of you who haven't read them but they are pretty good.
I have been waiting for this movie for years. In the late 1990's the project was supposed to star Tommy Lee Jones but that movie never got made. This movie is pretty faithful to the book with updating for modern times. However, the ending is out of left field and a terrible conclusion. Perhaps this is because through all of the other books about Bob Lee and his father, never once did I feel ashamed of their behavior as I did watching this ending. Shame on Stephen Hunter for allowing this to happen to his story.
Book Review: Bob Lee Swagger is just a bad ass, thats all there is to it
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read all of the Bob Lee Swagger books, and when Stephen Hunter wrote this one he set the standard. Black Light, and Time to Hunt, are great books, but point of impact gets'em by a few notches. Bob Lee really pulls the reader into the life of the sniper, and a genius.Book Review: Bob Lee Swagger takes you on a fantastic ride. Great ending.
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephen Hunter has become one of my favorite fictional authors. While there may be a few technical shortsights, he convinces me that he likes the subject matter and enjoys what he is writing. THIS IS THE BEST NOVEL OF ITS KIND I HAVE EVER READ. I read it over three years ago, then again last year, and I may read it again. Bob Lee Swagger is an interesting character and is actually believable. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who enjoys really good action-adventure novels with some real meat in them. I sincerely hope Mr. Hunter turns out some more like this trilogy. This is definitely, "the right stuff".Book Review: Bob Lee Swagger, he's the slyest of them all
Summary: 4 Stars
Summer entertainment. Much better than the movie and adds much more. Mark Wahlberg did a good job, but too young for the part. Reading the book, had to take his image out of my head.
Sum it all up with this and a Jack Daniels
"I got a woman who did me good who is now Payne's playtoy. I got a dog that stuck by me when no one else would and ended up in the ground. I got a country that thinks anybody who fought in Vietnam is some kind of crazy sniper who shoots at the president and any man who owns a gun is a crazy man. Those are debts that have to be paid first off."
Looking forward to reading Time to Hunt, which I just ordered next.
