Summary: Very Satisfying
Review: Spent a long summer in Arkansas, and this thing captured my memories of the flavor of that place perfectly. Some great twists here, and the parallel stories were a nice treat. Hope I get to the others (Prequels?) soon.

Summary: kodus to hunter, finally shows that he can write emotion
Review: This is the third and best in the bob lee swagger trilogy. Evreything was great. The drama was so good that I wanted to yell out and say it was great. Therer's so much in this. Hunter is going to be a up and coming novelist. The real plot in this story is father and sons. Bob and earl swagger. Lamar and jimmy pie. bud and rusty. It would be a great movie.

Summary: Ho-hum.
Review: I loved "Point of Impact" and was excited to see a sequal on the shelves. What a disappointment. Bob Lee Swagger acted completely out of character and most of the other characters were just annoying. The story was stilted and slow.

Summary: Bob Lee Swaggers own form of justice completes trilogy.
Review: Stephen Hunter ties everything together in this excellent action thriller. Maybe written more like a Hollywood screenplay, however, he still gives his fans an interesting story with a lot of inside info regarding weapons,snipers,law enforcement, and a great twist in the end. I think its a fine follow-up and a good end to the triology

Summary: "Black Light" fails to shine
Review: I had high expectations when I picked up "Black Light" since I had greatly enjoyed author Stephen Hunter's previous books "Point of Impact" and "Dirty White Boys." However the book fails to live up to the quality of its predecessors. The three books don't really function successfully as a trilogy and the attempt in "Black Light" to pull the three books together into a single thematic whole seems disjointed and arbitrary.
Although Bob Lee Swagger is still a fascinating character, the journalist son of the protagonist of "Dirty White Boys" is so weak kneed that you began to hope that he'll stop one of the bullets meant for Bob. Whenever the kid is on stage the book turns into "The Catcher in the Rye" and the novel slows to a crawl.
In addition, the books central plot hook is the uninvolving unraveling of yet another shadowy conspiracy by the powers that be, driven by an uninteresting villain.
Reading "Black Light" may well be a disappointing experience for you, especially if your a Stephen Hunter fan. If you're a new reader of Hunter's works, start somewhere else.

Summary: Another wild ride by the master sniper!!!
Review: Once again Stephen Hunter has outdone himself with a ride to intensity that would never stop. Bob Lee Swagger by this time has become so familiar a person in my mind that the first mention of his name caused huge flash backs of excitement, suspense, and the feeling that I was peering through a sniper's scope. He remains by far my favorite action/suspense author

Summary: Exciting, but flawed
Review: Mr. Hunter returns for a third visit to the world he created for "Point of Impact," and "Dirty White Boys." Like the first two books, this was a jargon filled, harsh, violent book filled with action. However, Mr. Hunter, like so many authors before him, failed in his research; Marines do not call for "Medics" when injured, they yell for a "Corpsman." Other than this and a few other minor but irritating flaws, this was a good, entertaining read

Summary: Burned The Midnight Oil For This One
Review: This book starts getting really good after about 150 pages, Unusually good dialog. The characters are very well developed. There are several mysteries going on at the same time but they are very neatly woven together There is an execution scene that rivals the ones in King's Green Mile and Grisham's Chamber I hate it when they make movies out of books I like but this would make a good one

Summary: "Black Light" fitting conclusion to Bob Lee Swagger series
Review: In "Black Light," author Stephen Hunter concludes (or at least seems to) his trilogy of books dealing with master
sniper Bob Lee Swagger. Although "Black Light" contains
plenty of the information regarding the "sniper's art" that
made "Point of Impact" (the first book in the trilogy)
interesting and exciting, it is the best plotted of the
three books. Hunter adroitly joins the son of the Oklahoma
state trooper who is the protagonist of his previous book "Dirty White Boys" with Bob Lee Swagger. I won't give anything of the plot away, but this book's plot has more levels than a good French pastry. The book's suspense is continual, and Bob Lee Swagger is the best, most believable
badass you're going to find in this genre.

Summary: An Unusually excellent follow-up to Point of Contact
Review: The character of Bob Lee Swagger introduced in "Point of Contact" is superb. Reading Hunter's description of Swagger is like seeing Clint Eastwook in his first spagetti western. He is a lone-ranger type of character. His antagonists are particularly well developed. It's one of those books you both want to skip through to find out what is going to happen; and you don't want to skip through because his descriptive prose is such a pleasure to read. Swagger is a hero in the strong silent type mode which some of us readers just can't get enough of.
