Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This two-fisted follow-up to 2011’s Sucker Punch finds mixed-martial-arts fighter Aaron “Woodshed” Wallace in a bit of a predicament: he won his fight against Junior Burbank—a contest nobody expected, or really wanted, him to win—and now Eddie Takanori, who’s supposed to be Woody’s promoter, won’t return his calls. Then, out of the blue, Eddie shows up, looking seriously the worse for wear, with an offer of a fight against Zombi, a Japanese MMA fighter who happens to work for some people to whom Eddie owes a lot of money. If Woody loses the fight, Eddie loses his company, but if he wins, Woody could lose something a whole lot more valuable. Like Sucker Punch, this is a well-constructed story with a likable narrator (Woody is developing quite the offbeat sense of humor, too) and plenty of behind-the-scenes action for MMA fans. --David Pitt --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

What If Jack Reacher Was Less Intelligent And Trained MMA? 2nd Book In The Woodshed Wallace Series

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was a good read for me, but I suspect that much of that is based on the fact that this is a follow up to "Suckerpunch" which I greatly enjoyed. Although I guess it could be read as a a standalone story, I strongly recommend checking out Suckerpunch if you haven't already read it. Without the background information on the characters this story seems like it would be less enjoyable.

This story mixes a crime and gangsters tale with the world of MMA fighting. The story keeps a good balance between the two worlds, not drowning the casual reader in MMA terms, yet offering enough MMA insight and humor to make Chuck Liddell chuckle (if he could read.)

Recommended, especially for fans of physically capable protagonists, stories about the yakuza, and/or MMA.

Pretty good sophomore effort

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2013

I thought this was a pretty good sequel to Suckerpunch. Although I enjoyed reading more about "Woodshed" Wallace's backstory in the first novel, I thought this one added a little depth to his character in the present.
I imagine writing about MMA and fighting in general must be incredibly difficult. To capture the sense of urgency and action of a fight properly must take weeks or months to write on paper. I have nothing but respect for Mr. Brown's ability to make a fight visible to the reader's mind. I think that's the reason I enjoy this series.....you can envision the blows and the techniques as they come. Additionally, the dialog between the characters is very realistic. It sounds like two people talking, which many novels fail to capture. People who train together and work together bust each others' chops on a daily basis, and that's how these characters talk to one another. Great use of humor, and I have had many laugh out loud moments while reading this series.

Good stuff, Mr. Brown. I look forward to more.

When you read this book you SEE the action!

My favorite part of the Woodshed Wallace series is the turn of phrase that the author uses throughout his writing. Verbs and adjectives run akimbo to carry the mood, further the plot or develop the characters. "Combined, it looked like the instruction manual for going cross-eyed and having a seizure." "The hot air swept in and mixed with the chilled, made a rolling cloud of mist that lapped over the edge of the box." When this book is made into a movie it will be a visual delight!

More action and mayhem, most importantly more good writing

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2012

Hook and Shoot adds further depth to the lives and interaction of Aaron Wallace, Gil and nefarious promoter Eddie.

What Suckerpunch did to open the series, Hook and Shoot enhances by drawing more humor and humanity into our fallen hero. Like this summer's Avenger's movie explained about their Hulk, Woodshed is angry all the time. The real trick is keeping his anger under control.

After his debut last year, Wallace has not been back into the cage. When the oppportunity arises once more, the fight can never be as simple as it should be and only against the trained killer across from you. "Woodshed" finds himself caught in the middle of some ruthless power struggles and set to fight a mysterious combatant from the Far East.

Birthing the world of MMA to the pages of novelization cannot be easy work. Jeremy has once more balanced the equation beautifully by remembering that sequals don't have to raise the stakes so high that our protagonist eventually becomes a "superhero" to make tujeir way to the end. Instead, removing Aaron's support system allows us to see that a true champion is what is in their hearts, The warrior's spirit is a fantastic idea. but the real human is spent enough just trying to achieve a survisvor's spirit.

Aaron is a man, a dark soul. Will that be enough against a Yakuza hit squad, rogue police, and worst of all, the sleaziest promoter since Don King? Read along and see for yourself. It's a hell of a ride!!!

Hook and shoot

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2013

Unpleasant, violent men leading unpleasant, violent lives are the essence of this tale, which is set in Nevada. HOOK AND SHOOT details the life of a cage fighter, Woodshed Wallace, in the second of this series - anyone who enjoys the sport may enjoy the book more than I did.

Wallace has had some fraught episodes in Brazil and is now recovering from a mass of injuries including severe eyebrow scarring. He's hoping for some down time but a friend, Eddie, asks him to run security for him and warns that there are shady business deals going on with his 'entertainment' company, Warrior, and the Yakuza, the Japanese organised crime gang. A wiser man would have backed off at once but nobody would call Woodshed Wallace very wise. Before long he is helping to murder a ninja assassin in the back of a stretch limo, with convenient garbage bag to stop blood getting on the seats, and to hide the body in a freezer in a storage facility. This is fairly disgusting to read. Nobody even mentions calling the police. Their troubles, and the high body count, have just begun.

In this book Jeremy Brown gives us a world of casinos, marble stairs, conference tables, gyms, statuary and tiled pools; a world of hard, of pain, of machismo. He assures us that 'mixed martial arts cage fighting' is licensed as a sport in Nevada; think Mad Max rather than a dojo.
If you like Harlan Coben's readable books about Myron Bolitar (Fade Away etc.) but find them too friendly, witty and intellectual for your taste, you will probably get on well with Woodshed Wallace.
