This book was very well written. The author knows his subject, but this book is not just for readers who know about sniping. This is a terrific book that keeps up a fast pace and never lets up. There is a whole lot more than sniping going on. It is a action adventure with relationship drama.

A Police and Robber Story With A Major Twist!

Author Barry Ozeroff in his debut novel "Sniper Shot" takes the reader for a real thrill ride filled with intrigue and a series of unexpected twists. His book has all the markings of becoming a best seller. It has an intelligent plot and great characters that the author has done a good job fleshing out for the reader. This book is not filled with lots of moral messages but it is full of pure exciting entertainment adventure. This is a man's kind of book that can be read and enjoyed equally by a woman. My son is a police officer, so I had some idea of what that job is like. However, I did not have a clue as to what it might be like for officers on a special response team such as a sniper. The author writes with much authority and seems to understand the emotional liabilities that occupation might have on men under stress. The dialog is done well and does not feel contrived. This is a good old fashion adventure thriller to read and kill an afternoon or a night. Great suspense novel! A must read book! MWSA's TOP BOOK RATING - FIVE STARS! 2005 Distinguished Honor Award for the MWSA!
Riveting

I'm guilty...I spent nearly an entire day to read the entire book in one sitting. I just couldn't put the book down. While I was not too surprised by the twists and turns I was captivated by the action and the character development. I was fully engrossed by this book, so much that I had to go hug my wife several times and tell her I loved her afterwards because I felt guilty just reading about Ben's actions in this book. I felt similar to the time I watched two complete seasons of the Sopranos in one setting! Anyway, I definitely can't wait until his next book.
AMAZING READ!
