Following a rescue mission in Afghanistan, discharged marine John Triton returns home to South Carolina and into the loving arms of his wife, Kate. Though happy to be home, Triton soon discovers that adjusting to a 'normal life' doesn't come easy for him. In fact, suppressing his intense training and strong survival instincts may be the greatest challenge he has ever faced. That is, until a camping trip to the mountains results in an unfortunate encounter with five ruthless killers on the run, and Kate becomes their unwilling hostage. Left for dead, Triton relentlessly pursues his quarry deep into backwoods country, determined to get his wife back safely at any and all costs. But he's wounded, unarmed, and outnumbered. All he has left are his wits and an almost-animalistic rage that made him an unstoppable killing machine in the frontlines overseas. The marine is waging a new war, and his enemies have no idea how much trouble they're in...

This review is from: The Marine (Wwe) (Mass Market Paperback)
Like the movie itself,this novelization of "The Marine" is good escapist fun for guys.Sure,the plot is ridiculous,but then it's supposed to be.The whole point of both the book and the movie is the action sequences,and
they are top-notch onscreen and in print.And yeah,the "bad guys" are nothing more than comic buffoons,but they are intended to be that way. But I really liked John and Kate.Surprisingly,for the leading characters in an action story,they had some depth to them.John Cena and Kelly Carlson are GREAT in the movie!So all in all,this is a good action story that moves swiftly and works up a good deal of suspense.I recommend it for most guys,and especially young adults.

This review is from: The Marine (Wwe) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been through a lot of boring books with boring stories and ways of boring writing, and they actually sent me to sleep after each single hour I tried to read. I got "The Marine" about the days it was first released and didn't expect much from it, as not many good books were passed to me, but I started reading as soon as I got home. Although I felt disappointed in the storyline at first, (I thought the story would be inside of the US Marine Corps, like the novelization to the movie "SWAT",) but the way of writing of this book brightened up my days. I couldn't believe I'd assumed half the book within just a few hours without realizing. I spent the day with the book and did nothing else. It was written by using 'easy language', and it was very well done. It helps making it a funny read in my opinion, based on all my previous reading experiences. You can compare to those old fiction books in 1970s; often difficult language, exaggerations about the stuff that are not quite sticking around to the plots or main characters, and the books were often long (~300pp), but only 300pp took me about half a month to read. ... "The Marine" is not just an enjoyable read, it seems practice good writing in me for if I will want to be a writer. I still keep the book on my bookshelf in my private room, (instead of being forgotten in the box full of read books,) and have some good time picking it up to reread and study the way of good writing.
