A reviewer
I read it from start to finish non-stop. Great character development. Please don't judge this book by the movie. Read all of this authors books they are worth it. Most rate four to five stars.

A Heart Thumper
I picked up this book when it first hit paperback in the 90's on the recommendation of an older lady at my local book store. Phenomenal read and one of my favorites ever. Proof this is not simply a macho story. I don't normally read a story more than once, but I have read this one three times and recommend it to every reader I know.

Gripping and Intense.
Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down! Hunter's writing style was captivating and his description of small arms weaponry was spot-on! Loved it.

Heart pounding suspense
This remains one of my favorite books of all time. Bob Lee Swagger is the ultimate hero, beyond cool, and the plot is a real page turner. This book made me write a letter of praise to the author, something I had never been moved to do before.

Now to watch movie!
Throughly enjoyed this book! A couple of folks mentioned the movie "Shooter" as a pretty good movie to watch and once I realized it was based off this book I decided to read this first! Was not disappointed at all! Very quick and entertaining read! At times the dialogue got a bit redundant and cheesy but overall a page turner. My only gripe is that B&N has all the Bob Lee Swagger books in ebook format except books 2 & 3 which is crazy. Why start a series and then jump from book 1 to book 4??? I'd like to continue the series so I'll wait to see if they release them later on. Had to add this edit of my original review: DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE!!! IT KILLS THE STORY!!! READ THE BOOK AND LEAVE IT AT THAT!!!

A lot more than an ordinary thriller
What could be a familiar tale of revenge and a crusade for the truth is spun into so much more. There is a chapter where our hero (Bob the Nailer) confronts the basis of the entire assassination plot, and shows why he is what he is (one of the best in the world behind a rifle), and taughtly written courtroom scene, some light romance, office politics, and even some history all thrown in.
My favorite quote; "my men have your boyfriend on top of a hill and are going to kill him." The reply; "you don't get it do you? he loves hills if he is on the top of that hill that is where WANTS to be!"

Exciting Read Throughout
I am about 2/3 into this thrilling book. This novel truly is a page-turner. I hope the ending is even better!!! I hope to rent the DVD after the conclusion of the book. BUY IT!!!

A great start to a great series
This is one of my favorite books, and then they had to butcher it in movie form.

Exciting Movie
This is an extremely fast paced action movie where the good guy is taken advantage of but wins in the end.

Excellent Book.
I have seen the movie and am now reading the book. The author has made some technical mistakes by mixing Winchester Mod70 and Rem 700 actions but otherwise is an excellent book.

One Terrific Read
Don't give reviews, this being my first after reading hundreds of books However, without knowing anything about the intricacies of firearms, and this read was full of them, the author kept me enthralled througout and every time I forced myself to put it down, I found myself picking it up again If you like thrillers, espionage, or assassination plots, this is a must!

So much better than the movie. READ IT.
The movie though passingly entertaining... is very much overshadowed by this novel. The shooting was well researched and the characters very well developed.
