Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lit up
Review: This story had more of a mystery element than 'Dirty White Boys' which made it interesting.

I like Hunter's stories and I agree that they have all been good, though not too deep.

Black Light is one of his better ones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "BLACK LIGHT IS RIGHT ON"
Review: Stephen Hunter has done it again. He has brought back Bob Lee Swagger. A sniper who can be a killing machine. Black Light and Point of Impact are my two favorites of his books. I did not want to put the book down. Bob Lee goes back to Blue Eye, Arkansas to find out about the death of his daddy. His dad, Earl, was a state trooper and killed in the line of duty or was he murdered????? When Bob starts asking questions people come after him and his friends. A lot of action and an ending that will surprise you. A great finish!!!!!!! If you like a lot of action and suspense you will like this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hunter is Awesome
Review: This book is very good but I recomend you read Point of Impact first, It will make more sense to you then. Also if you want the ending to be as much of a shock as he meant it to be then read Dirty White Boys before Black Light too. However if you are only going to read one of these first then stick to Point of Impact.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Suspenseful mystery/thriller
Review: _Black Light_ combines family secrets, gun trivia, military secrets, and a forgotten murder make a very entertaining read. Only problem I had was that the ending seemed not to live up to all the conspiracy, and parts of the backstory seemed unnecessarily confusing. Kept me turning pages in any case.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous book
Review: I thought Point of Impact was one of the best books I have ever read, but Black Light is even better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Keeps you on the edge of your seat
Review: This book is probably my favorite book of all time. I feel that reading the other Bob Lee Swagger books first made it that much more interesting. I really enjoyed how it portrays Earl Swagger and Bob Lee as two of the same people, yet so different too. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and I could not put the book down. It has a perfect blend of action and suspense. I was very pleased with this book, and look forward to more Swagger family books in the near future.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Hunter
Review: I read Point of Impact,Dirty White Boys and now Black Light. For those who are Hunter fans this is classic Hunter. I found it hard to put down. Book has excellent story with an ending that surprised me. I hope he continues the Bob Lee Swagger series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gets the job done.
Review: Good read. I've got the trilogy going backwards so I'll read Dirty White Boys next, I guess. He puts you into the action; builds suspense (except that you KNOW Bob Lee's gonna get out ok); draws great characters; keeps a tight plot with enough twists to keep you comin' back.

Sorry if this doesn't grab you...different strokes as they say. Next time I fly, it'll be Dirty White Boys, fer sure.

Oh, and I don't think I'd like to hang with Bob Lee...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but there was one inconsistancy
Review: I thought Black Light was a pretty good book. After reading Point of Impact I was very excited to see that Hunter was going to give us some details on how Earl Swagger died and what kind of man he was.

In the first book, Bob Lee Swagger, Earl's son, was upset because the press said he and his father had a tendency towards violence, referring to the shootout between Earl and two robbers in 1955. It said Bob Lee was upset because they made it sound like his father was just a cold-blooded killer and the press never mentioned anything about all the people he'd saved in the process of killing the robbers. But in Black Light there were no people to save. It was just Earl and the two robbers shooting it out on the side of a road with no one else in the area.

Other than that, the book was outstanding. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A book that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Review: The anticipated sequal to Point of Impact may not have the same steam, but the conclusion makes up for it. The gun fights in this book can't help but remind you of Rambo and his never-ending supply of bullets. Nevertheless, Black Light is a compelling read that will tug at your emotions. A must read for Bob Swagger fans. If you are a first timer to the world of "The Nailer" I suggest going with Point of Impact before you hit Black Light.
