Point of Impact (Abridged) Audiobook

" Hunter's Bob Lee Swagger books are all dark as Swagger's world isn't a pretty one but I enjoy these books for the glimpse of a place I will likely never really comprehend and I will never want to live..or even visit for that matter. "

" thriller in which Swagger is framed for attempted murder of the President. Made into the film Shooter. "

" Ok, mixed review here...parts of this book I LOVED...however, there is no time in my life that I desire or will EVER desire to read page after page of how the same types of bullets, loaded by different means, hit a target and what causes millimeters difference on that target. I mean, it went on and on page after page...it must be a guy thing.....if you could have taken all that out it would have gotten a much higher rating from me. I will read the others in the series...just not any time soon!!! "

" If you liked the movie Shooter you'll definitely like this book. It would be good to read independently as well. Was a good action mystery book. "

" If you're wanting a can't put down page turner, full of action and surprises, here's the book for you. Recommended by one of my favorite local suspense/thriller authors, Phillip Margolin. "

" this is a long book that is very easy to read... if you undertake the progress on its own terms, though for me- not very interested in details about guns, not very convinced by cliche characters, or superhero protagonist, or conspiracy politics- oh and did mention guns? if this were shorter, if this had ironies somewhere, maybe if it seemed more an interesting portrayal of the gun culture, the government, FBI, marines, Vietnam vet, well it can be that the other characters might make lit stories, but not likely. a friend from the art supply store really likes this, so read it, but do not think will remember it or want to read another- read 'soft target' by same author earlier but that was not said his best. for some raters this is his best, so once again, as far as popular fiction am definitely in a very very small minority... "

" This is the book that the movie Shooter was based on. Bob Lee Swagger is a former Marine Sniper, one of the best in the world. When approached by a shadowy organization to do some consulting he is, at first, reluctant but ultimately hooked. Once he realizes he's been duped, he goes about settling the score with the same methodical precision that made him legendary in the service. While some of the characters and characterizations irked me pretty badly (I have yet to see a female character in his books that was more than a means to an end; I did appreciate the half paragraph in which a female character explains how everyone but the man she's talking to saw her as 'a honey' but we as readers are never shown differently) Hunter has some solid writing in here and some nice word usage. The plot arcs and scenes are nicely layered and the twist, though telegraphed early and left hanging over four hundred pages, played out with rich, cinematic (in my head) detail. "

" Well written. The movie "Shooter" does not do the story justice. No big surprise there. "

" This was good and followed the movie but I think the version I listened too was abridged and seemed to go way to fast. "

" If you read the book - DO NOT watch the movie!!! "

" Didn't expect to, but I really enjoyed this book. A little guilty confession and even I have a dark side. Seriously if you're in the mood for a fast paced CIA/FBA corruption story with a manly hero with a heart of gold (sort of), you might try this. "

" I found this book to be well written with well developed characters. The storyline was original and well thought out; a very entertaining read. If you have seen the movie, please read the book. The movie was extremely disappointing. "

" This was the movie they made in '07 called "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg. Liked the movie, but loved the book. "

" This is the book that the sermon called Shooter, starring Marky Mark of the Funky Bunch was taken from. Of course the book is better, but more than that, the book isn't bad at all. A lot of fun, a one day read for sure. "

" Great read. Hunter is an outstanding writer, putting you there. "

" Thrilling, gripping and unputdownable. "

" Book was a good action suspense novel. It was made into the movie Shooter, which really didn't do it justice, but then what movie ever does do the book justice. "

" Solid thriller; way better than the movie, inspired me to read others in the series and by the author. Intriguing redneck hero; great techno-gun-nerd detail. "

" Great read. Better than the movie Shooter. "

" Great read, hard to put down "

" Way better than the movie. The movie was good though. "

" Just remember, you shoot a man's dog, you're gonna die. Shooter is one of my favorite movies and the book is even better. Perhaps a bit dated, but a good thriller/whodunit with plenty of tension. Only took me a couple of days to read, but I enjoyed it. "

" I tried to read it, but must have not been in the mood.. I just couldn't get into it. "

" I liked it a lot. "

" I would say that this is one of the best suspense thrillers ever written. "

" i liked bob lee..a lot.great book.but i'm nuts about his father..earl.now,thats a he-man.and a wonderful soul. "

" A man on a mission... with a twist! Around every corner, there is something up someone's sleeve... with a twist! While entertaining, this book was nothing more than skin deep payback action, with a hint of Dirk Pitt heroism. In the end, it was all pretty silly... with a twist! "

" Didn't think I was going to like this at first, but it turned out to be a great story about a Vietnam hero who was set us by a rogue CIA branch. "

" What I learned? I like a bit of the ultra-violence. Later I learned that Marky Mark can ruin just about anything. "

" I kinda see these books as "The Bourne Identity with a Mullet". I like them, but I feel kinda guilty liking Mr. Swagger. "

" great intense thriller and ive heard the series gets better "

" I thought it was a great book and you should read it if you like shooters, action/adventure and mystery in your book. the best part was the bone hill part that was the greatest, but I won't give anything away. It's a great book and you will like it "

" Currently find it very easy to get into it, It's quite suspenseful and quite amazing! "

" Great page-turner if you like conspiracies and snipers. "

" Completely awesome book. Blew me away. "

" Loved this book. For fans of any of the Jack Reacher novels you will love this. Great characters and a fast paced plot make for a fun read. "

" Hunter may be one of my favorite modern authors. Edge of your seat reading at its finest. "

" I loved the movie more than the book but I was pleasantly surprised that the book wasn't that bad. "

" Good book. I read it twice (about 6 years apart). "

" Awesome. The movie (Shooter) follows the book relatively well in terms of plot and some scenarios. The book provides a lot more extra to it, which is awesome. Definitely worth reading. "

" Loved this book! The movie "Shooter" was based on this book. "

" All of Hunter's early novels are fun, easy reads. "

" One of my all time favorite books. Simply awesome "

" First Bob Lee Swagger book---awesome series and way better than the silly Mark Wahlberg film that took the character and parts of the first book's plot. "
