Extension of the last book with a different weapon and new kingdoms to conquer.

Simple story of a superior man dominating a new environment.

Easy to read predicable western.

As a lifelong fan, I couldn't help but find it interesting.

It was a little slow getting started, but then it drew me in and I loved the ending. Everybody is flawed in this story and chaos rules the day.

The mystique of fighting from horseback brought to a modern setting.

Fantasy with magic set in a pre-industrial time. Enjoyed the book, but not enough to read the rest of the series.

Like "Little Big Man" where an old guy retells the story of his life. The only problem is this story is like a 50's TV show, long on action and short on character development.

The book's back and forth between two stories makes it a challenging read. However it's worth the effort as the tales start to merge.

The characters are flawed, yet perfect for the part they play in the story. My only criticism is in the development of the females, there is none, it's a man's tale.

Good story, but the characters were flat and uninteresting. Bob gave me some hope, like Data in Star Trek, but it never happened.

Held my interest and kept me turning pages.

Interesting ideas mixed with good story telling.

Flawed characters discover amazing artifact that can change the world. Enjoyed the first half as they overcome different challenges on their quest of discovery. Then it all falls apart, as the world's reaction changes everything. At this point, so does the book.

The beginning of the book is filled with excitement and promise. The end has a lot of retelling of the story I just read. Still it's a page turner that held my interest.

"Heart of the Comet" held my attention and was quick read for me. It raised many question for me to ponder. All these ideas were mixed into an passable action adventure story.

A look at John Wayne the father, from the eyes of his daughter.

It a story of ghosts tormenting boy, that's it.

Sometimes the author is so descriptive it's had to follow the story. It's like a giant SF poem, painting each page with complex narratives.

While he does talk about his life, it's mostly stories about his films and the rolls he played. While I enjoyed the book, I was looking for more about the man.

Lot's of action, however the story is told in first person and that limits the development of the other characters. It is a page turner and I pushed to the ending.

Simplistic fun with John Wayne style heroes giving their all. The book held my interest, great weekend read.

Pulled a couple good idea's from the book, but it's inconsistent and repetitive.

Straight forward and honest reflection of Chris Kyle's time as a SEAL.

Played the music as I read the story of Johnny Cash's life, it brought new meaning to the music.

Easy to predict mindless action, great way to kill a Sunday afternoon.

I'm doing my own personal Kirk Douglas film festival and I thought it would be interesting to read this book before watching the movie again. Spartacus is a movie that's on my personal top ten list. The first time I saw Spartacus, it was on a bad TV in crummy hotel room, because my family was trapped by a snow storm in Vega Texas. However even under those circumstances, Spartacus still enthralled me.

Finding out about how the film was made and the problems the blacklist caused for people like Dalton Trumbo was a real eyeopener. Sitting here today it's hard to believe it could have happen, we are currently so protective of our freedom of speech, but it is a lesson. I enjoyed the book, it was Kirk Douglas regaling me with stories of making Spartacus, just what I wanted.

I really enjoyed reading this book with all the insides Tobias Wolff was brave enough to share. It was well written, his views and reflection of his time in Vietnam really made me think. I would recommend reading this book.

The stories are not as good as some other Vietnam memoirs, but the writing is excellent.

First rate story of a young man's encounter with war and how it changes him.
