Summary: Great Action
Comment: Possibly the best action/adventure book you'll find anywhere. It certainly is the best I've ever read. I was, and am, a fan of the movie with Stallone, and read the book back in 85, after Rambo II (groan) came out. How could I have known that the book would be so much better. As usual, the book always outdoes the movie. I've read it twice so far, and am beginning to feel it's almost time for number 3. I became a big Morrell fan after reading First Blood, having read about 10 of his books so far. I like his no-nonsense writing style and his fast-paced plotting, but none of his other books, in my opinion, have approached the great work he did on First Blood. Get Stallone out of your head and read the book.

Summary: Good, but totally different than the movie
Comment: I had gotten into a pattern of reading the books that were the inspiration for some of my favorite movies. This was the second book that I read while in that mindset. I was very excited when I first started this book because it was very similar to the movie. Eventually however that trend began to change. Instead of having Rambo as the main character the book focusses more on Wilfred Teasle, the small town sheriff. Due to this drastic change in the main character the reader sympathizes much more with Teasle and his personal problem than with Rambo. Rambo in the book comes off as more of a lunatic continually having to prove his war abilities by killing innocent people. The ending is very different from the movie as well, but I will not get into that here, since I unfortunately had it ruined for me by another review here.
Anyways to sum up: This is a good book and a good read. It isn't as fast pace as the movie which was somewhat dissapointing but it does present the characters in a different way and gives one a different perspective on the whole ordeal. I would reccomend this to both people who have seen and like the movie, as well as to those who have seen the movie but thought that it was a bit too cheesy. This definitely has more emotions to it than the movie did.

Summary: Action Packed Book!
Comment: After being a fan of the "Rambo" and "First Blood" movies I
finally got around to reading the book that these best selling movies were based on.In the book John Rambo is a drifter who is
arrested in a small town in Kentucky for vagrancy.After mistreat-
ment and abuse by the Deputies John mops up in the Sheriff's
Department deputies. The Sheriff,Teagle is determined to conquer
John Rambo.He has no idea that Rambo is a former Special Forces
officer.Rambo turns out to be Sheriff Teagle's worse nightmare.
He used his training to battle Sheriff Teagle and his forces in
the hills and caves of Kentucky.A book that you will not soon
forget.Read this book and you will have a greater appreciation of the Rambo movies.
