I like it better than the movie. Rambo is not as sympathetic in the book. This is a grittier story than the film is. It’s a good read. My only critique was that I felt like I needed to suspend reality a little bit to make the situations during the pursuit more believable. I want to give 4.5 stars because of that small criticism but the system to rate it here on google won’t do that so I’m giving it 5 stars.
