" This is the book that the movie Rambo is based on! I've never seen the movie, so I can't tell if it's at all true to the book. This tale revolves around a sheriff and a majorly PTSD-ed war vet known only as Rambo. The plot is... bloody. Rambo is hitchhiking through town, and the sheriff wants him out. Rambo doesn't like nobody telling him where he can't go, so he keeps coming back. Sheriff tries to put him in jail, but cutting Rambo's hair goes too far. Violence ensued. So this book was pretty well-paced, but dangit, I wanted to know a lot more about the serious mental damage of these two characters and why they cannot. let. it. go. I guess this one of those books where the characters are just vehicles to deliver the plot (we read copyright cases about this), and... eh. I'm much more of a character reader. I was amazed but not really surprised at how long the characters kept going, and I was relieved when it ended. Not for my sake but for theirs! "
