Customer Reviews

Not realistic but definitely entertaining

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While it doesn't necessarily create a realistic view of sniper strategy nor of the Vietnam war, it has unique psychological aspects that I found intriguing. Surprisingly complex view of personal attachment woven between a stylized interpretation of marine culture.

Realistic, Truly Awesom

Warning! This book is only for a person that loves military tactics. Watch as a world class Marine sniper goes for his 100 kills. This book is not really a strong-plot reading book, but an almost Jeffery Chaucer sort of book. It has a little bit of everything to represent war. If you read this book, remember characters aren't all that they seem. They may be more. This book has everything from ARVN aircraft, to Huey gunships. My father is a Vietnam Era Air Force Veteran, and this book has everything the military does. A great read. Not for kids.

Keeps your heart pumping and your mind wants to read more!
