Summary: breathless
Review: I found a first printing of this book in an obscure little shop and being an avid reader of african hunting books i picked it up.As I began to read it i could not put it down until it was finished,and i might add it took my breath.Ruark put his superb writing talent to good use in telling of his adventures hunting buffalo and africa's other exciting game.

Summary: Anything by Ruark
Review: I would hate to be dropped in the middle of an Australian desert with him (if he was still alive) as he is a terrible braggard.

Summary: wonderful, you won't put it down, enchanting
Review: If you've ever dreamed of the Africa of old, the "classic" Safari days of endless game and gentlemen hunters, this is your book. Robert Ruark is genuis, from the opening page you are drawn into the book page after page, you will lose sleep until you are finished with this gem because you simply won't want to put it down ! It is almost as is if you can smell & hear the Africa Ruark describes, and "feel" the charge of a Cape Buffalo , Lion or Leopard. You will want to read this book again & again & it just get's better each time. The only book Ruark wrote that might garner a higher rating is "Horn of the Hunter", on a personal suggestion by Harry Selby ( Ruarks friend & "White Hunter", a professional hunter without parallel ). You will NOT be dissapointed with "Use Enough Gun" or "Horn of the Hunter" ..

Summary: A man's book for lovers of the old safari hunts
Review: Probably the best book I have ever read on hunting during the glory days of safari hunting in Africa. Ruark takes you hunting for the African "Big 5" through the eyes of a first timer. He writing is easy to read and keeps you interested at all times. If you're a hunter, you'll wish you where there! Not for members of PETA.

Summary: For it is true Africa, sadly we shall se no more of it.
Review: The true African safari is slowly but surely diminishing but will forever be imprisoned by Ruarks great flair for describing the hunt and Africa as it once was. Use Enough Gun will keep the true old African hunting safari alive forever.

Summary: Ruark ramblings
Review: This book perhaps contains the cream of the crop, utilizing pieces of other works. If you have no other work of Ruark's, you would enjoy this one. The best part for me was a small section of magazine articles (not footnoted as to actual date and publication) that I haven't found elsewhere.

Its easy to put yourself alongside the fire with Bob as you read, look through his eyes, and feel the bite of thorns, and the pride in shooting well, and the reward of matching wits with Mbogo.
