The Shooters by W. E. B. Griffin (2008, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

W.E.B. Griffin writes on a level to grab your imagination and keep it from wandering or getting bored. I read few books and will gravitate to the page burners. (Like the Clive Cussler series.) I'm ex-military and love a good USA "Kicked their A**" book. WEB produces. Mix Fact and wishful Fiction and out comes a white knuckle thriller. As always, Great reading!

You've heard the proverbial "I just couldn't put it down..." This is it. It took me about 1200 miles (interrupted at times) to hear all 15 disks but I was anxious to push the start button any time I was deprived of hearing the next chapter.
The reader was easy to understand and the story was easy to follow. There was enough consistency to keep the flow of the story moving along - you had some idea where it was going; with enough detours and changes to keep it exciting.
I'd seriously consider 'reading' it again some time on down the road.
Great book.

This series got me into reading W.E.B.Griffin and I couldn't wait for this last book in the series to come out. I have fallen in love with Charley Castillo and loved reading more about him. This series was action packed but also leaned to my feminine side dealing with his family. I loved the way W. E. B. Griffin told about his family and made it so personable. It makes him seem so human. If there was anything I disliked it was that this might be the last time I get to see Charley. I hope not. I hope Griffin will keep him alive and keep the series going a while. I bought it because I have been looking for this ever since I listened to the first three.

I've read every book W.E.B. Griffin has put out. His last two have not been good. I would liked to see the author's outline for this book.
1. Devote 20 pages to every character mentioned in books 1-3
2. 40 pages about the dog
3. Charlie needs a son, work that in some how
4. Wrap up final action sequence in 20 pages or less

This, the fourth book in the series, falls far short of the previous three books. While some lead-in is always necessary, the action doesn't even begin until disk #10 and the final assault is barely described. There are also many story lines that go unanswered. Very disappointing from a writer that I enjoy reading very much.

This is an Audio Book that I downloaded onto my iPod. I walk everyday and this is a way to get my mind off the walk and into the story. By doing that I can walk mile after mile and don't want to stop walking in the really good parts of the book. This book is typical Griffin's cutting edge drama, and Dick Hill, just another great job as the voice.
