Summary: Too much folk lore
Review: I wish I could say this book was non fiction, but I can't. Toomany questions have been raise about much of the book, most notablyApache woman and the relevance of the long shot with a 50cal.. According to all Marine Corps literature concerning Scout Snipers, they have always worked in teams, contrary to the writers assertion that Carlos repeatedly went out alone. With no eye-wittness to his accounts there is a serious credibility gap.

Summary: This is One of My Favorites!
Review: This book is very well written and is very informative. I had a very hard time putting it down, even at 12:00 at night. I recommend this to anyone interested in Vietnam, or just wants a very great book to read.

Review: A totally amazing real life book about the trials of the Marine sniper Carlos Hathcock. If you are a war buff or simply enjoy an adventure you will love this book, and it also brings pride in our great country the U.S.A.

Summary: A fairly written book not worthy of the subject.
Review: Carlos Hathcock was a modern hero and a brave marine. In the beginning of the book the author already makes you aware that a lot of the material would be made up. I certainly didn't need to know that Carlos Hathcock wiped the grease paint from his buddy's face. The author also presumed to know what was on the mind of the enemy. He shouldn't have given the highlighted exploits at the very beginning either. That didn't give you much to look forward to in the upcoming chapters. There was, however, very detailed accounts of missions and that of the shooting matches which did make me want to read a chapter completely before putting down the book for a break. The pictures were a nice addition as well. I am not a writer but do appreciate a good book. If I weren't interested in Carlos Hathcock I doubt I would have read much of the book.

Summary: The sniper by which all others are measured.
Review: A true American hero in every sense of the word. I was saddened to learn of his death. This is truly one of the best books I have ever read. This mans story should be made into a movie.

Rating:
Summary: Great material, but so poorly written you won't finish it.
Review: Despite the quality of the subject, this book is so poorly written and the dialogue so obviously contrived that you'll flash back to your grade school readers. Its a shame that Sgt. Hathcock must be associated with this terrible work, and also speaks poorly of the "Military Book Club Main Selection" as a recommendation. This book will end up in the trash or you will develop a gigantic headache quite quickly! My advice, buy another book on snipers instead.

Summary: Excillent Book One of the best I've read
Review: The book "Marine Sniper" is one of if not the best book I've ever read. It keeps you glued to the book with much suspense. It tells how one of the Vietnam heros severd his country with great pride and honor. It also tells how the sniper saved many lives and earned the purple heart.

Summary: real
Review: With the recent passing of Gnysgt. C. Hathcock I can only say goodbye my friend, my mentor.. We the cadre of the scout sniper schools can never repay the knowledge you shared that not only made us the best but also allowed us to survive to carry on the sprit SEMPER FI/vito..
