Point of Impact
« on: March 17, 2007, 04:33:23 PM »
Did anyone read the book, "Point of Impact" by Stephen Hunter? It is a good read. It is now coming out as the movie Shooter staring Mark Wahlberg. Lets see what Hollywood does with it.

Yes and it is a very good read. If the review of the movie I read is correct the book and the movie have very little in common.

I've read all three books in that series... Point of impact, Cant remember the #2, and Black Light... all great reads!
I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

I have to say Point of impact is the best book I have ever read. I had a hard time putting it down and it was a book that entertained so well I wished it would never end.

I will have to get the book. I didn't know there was a book based on the movie shooter. I did see the movie, I've watched it three times and have passed it around to friends and family. Its a good movie and everyone that has watched it has said the same.

The movie doesn't hold a candle to the book.

Thats generally the way it is with movie books, the books are always better. Anyway I just ordered it from Amazon. I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
