First Blood

De: David Morrell

Narrado por: Eric G. Dove

"HIS NAME WAS RAMBO AND HE WAS JUST SOME NOTHING KID FOR ALL ANYBODY KNEW."

The award-winning novel that inspired the legendary film series starring Sylvester Stallone.

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 have seen the Rambo movies, but those who haven't read the book are in for a surprise - a critically acclaimed story of character, action, and compassion.

Excellent

Great book, no wonder the movie was great as well. Great narrator also. Highly recommend this writer.

loved book

finally a hard ass Rambo instead of the wimpy one in the movies. A must read.

Different from the movie

The story was captivating and exciting. it has been a while since I experienced that. Rambo here is just nuts. Can't relate to him much. Can't empathize with him either. But it's still an exciting story.

As usual, better than the movie.

Much more action and thought than the movie. Lot more balance between Rambo and teezle.

Great Story

As a kid, saw the movie a couple of years after it came out and loved it. In my late 40's, I hear the audio nook and it is so much better than the movie that I loved (still do). The images in my head played like a movie as I listened. Great detail and amazing storytelling.
