Customer Reviews

Read this book, instead of seeing the movie

What the book did right, the movie missed completely. The book got right into the action while the movie took forever to get started. Very fast moving novel (the lengthy descriptions of gun collections is understandable, since the story is told in the first person, by a gun nut). You'll find yourself believing that people like this exist (and they probably do).

little known,but unforgettable

this was one of the many novels that appeared in the early 70s to cash in on the success of the book and movie ''deliverance''.......but its two fisted brutality and lack of sympathetic characters make this a unsettling look at honor and macho.....nevertheless, this is compelling throughout,and stands out among the glut of these released in that era......''shoot ''was made into a unsuccessful movie and the books first sentence was ''borrowed'' by stephen king for his novella ''the mist''............it also has similarities to the movie ''southern comfort''..........if you pick up ''shoot'', you probably will finish it in one shot.........to my knowledge fairbairn only wrote one other novel after this,which im sure disappointed many.........what happens when jenrette and his buddies return to the place of their first skirmish will probably not surprise many,but the aftermath willstay with you..........
