Narrative To Books First Blood (Rambo: First Blood #1)
First came the man: a young wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend, as John Rambo sprang from the pages of FIRST BLOOD to take his place in the American cultural landscape. This remarkable novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesn't know whom he's dealing with -- or how far Rambo will take him into a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills, and caves of rural Kentucky. Millions saw the Rambo movies, but those who haven't read the book that started it all are in for a surprise -- a critically acclaimed story of character, action, and compassion.Rating Of Books First Blood (Rambo: First Blood #1)

Many ladies cried their hearts out for Virginia Wolfe, I could've cried out mine for this, but I didn'tThe Jerry Goldsmith and Dan Hill's It's a long road the song, it cried out my heart like hellThis review is long and completely full of spoilers. You have been warned. For those wondering why I would ever read the Rambo book, please know that it was a challenge book from my friend George. We have kidded each other about Rambo for years now, and it was finally time to put my book where my mouth resides. I vaguely remember the movies. They used to play on base TV pretty regularly when I was a child. But most of what I remember is Rambo coming out of the water in the black tee-shirt and
John Rambo is a cultural icon for me like a lot of you out here. You cannot be growing up in the 80's without having Rambo's name mentioned atleast once in your vicinity. Out here in my place, this guy was treated the ultimate warrior when I was a kid. Childhood memories remind me of teenaged guys in the neighborhood with hazy eyes talking to each other about the non-stop action from First Blood . It is then extremely ironic that I came to know that the movie's name was not Rambo perhaps only
I'm ashamed to say that I had no idea First Blood was a book before it was a movie. Glad to have this error corrected and was equally glad to have gotten the chance to read this amazing book. Now, there were some drastic changes from film to print or print to film more like. And that's okay. I never expect the movie to be just like the film. There have to be differences, so long as the essence remains intact. And for the most part, the essence of First Blood, be it Sylvester Stallone or just the
Rambo....What else do you need?:D The book is quite different then the movie in my opinion. We get to see a Rambo and Teasle in a different perspective with different motives for their actions which is pretty interesting. The writing style is not the best ive seen but the narrative managed to keep me interested enough. The change of pov from chapter to chapter keeps the pacing going well and lets you analize and compare both rambo and teasles characters. Overall a pretty good read and Id
A classic. I first read this novel in 1982. It was very exciting at the time.I was fourteen. It's been (probably) a couple decades since I last read First Blood. It's showing it's age a little more now. Still not a bad read, but it's really nothing more than a glorified chase story. A product of it's time. Make no mistake about it there were many folks in the early seventies who were nervous about the returning veterans. Many truly believed that we were going to have warfare erupt ,on a large
First Blood, a first read 40 years too late in reading for many. The author starts the story with introducing a name, Rambo and having the reader build an image of this character in mind, he successfully paints the portrait partly introducing Rambo, the long hair, the rough looking image, his sleeping carry sack on the road drifting wondering and then loads us with confrontation a police officer that seems to have issues with his hair, his wondering, his smarts and his look of a man that can
