Publisher's Summary
First came the man: a young wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend as the character, John Rambo, took his place in the American imagination. This remarkable and critically acclaimed novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesn't know what he will unleash after their first ill-fated encounter - a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills, and caves of rural Kentucky.

"Not everything I expected, but exciting"
I heard this novel does a good job of telling the story from two different perspectives and I enjoy stories that show events from more than one perspective. I was disappointed that it didn't do a good job of showing the events from both perspectives (in my opinion at least) but I enjoyed this book because of the excitement. I usually only read and listen to nonfiction but this is such an action packed story I enjoyed it.
One criticism/warning is that the authors comments before the story give away the ending so if you don't want a spoiler skip the author comments until you've complete the rest of the book. On the positive side the narrator was incredible.
The book is very similar to the early 80's Rambo movie at the beginning but as the story progresses the movie took a different course so you won't know what comes next if you've already seen the movie.1 of 1 people found this review helpful -

"They shouldn't have messed with Rambo!!!"
Where does First Blood rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?I think I would have to say in my top 25.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?I wouldn't go so far as to say the edge of my seat good, but it was enjoyable. This Rambo was one bad mother (shut your mouth) type of guy that was just pushed too far. And he showed the sheriff that he was the wrong drifter to go and mess with.
What does Eric G. Dove bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?Like what i say every time, that when you have a good narrator it brings the characters to life and Mr. Dove did a good job on his part.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?The movie tag line that was used in 1982 works just fine in my opinion "This time he's fighting for his life."
Any additional comments?It's pretty much the same as the movie, except that he kills a butt load of guys in this book than what he did in the first Rambo movie. I still enjoyed listening to the book and I'm a fan of the movie too.

"Rare instance where movie better than book"
This book does not have the excitement of the movie. I kept waiting for things to get going, and felt unsatisfied at the end. A waste of time.
