Summary: A man who makes the perfect rifle
Comment: A Review by Nick
The Rifle is a very well written book about a man who makes the perfect rifle. This rifle makes it through both world wars, and tracks up to present day. This book is basically saying that that if we didn't have any guns that we would be better off. I did enjoy reading this book but I do not agree with its contents. It has a very right wing consecutive view on guns
I really liked reading this book, it was easy to follow and well written. I like the way the author
followed the rifle through time as it was passed down from generation to generation Another thing I liked about this book is how easy it is to understand and follow. You can tell the author new what he was doing when he wrote this book. . I did not like the books view on guns, it basically says gun are the devil they should be destroyed.
I think anybody would like this book especially people who hate guns.

Summary: FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET...
Comment: This is a difficult book to categorize, since it is both Historical Fiction (American 18th century) and a warning to the danger of casually kept firearms. Regardless of its genre placement, this is one powerful read! Chapterless, but divided into four sections of differing lengths, this book is the "biograpy" of one particular rifle, handcrafted with love and precision in Colonial New England.
The impact of this 1768 "sweet" rifle continues long after the Revolutionary marksmen's death. It survives because it was hidden away and forgotten for several generations, but it's power to kill merely lies dormant. Gradually the reader comes to realize that a bizarre combination of random factors will culminate in some modern disaster. We are haunted by a sense of impending doom, despite the absence of malicious will. This is a classic of coincidence, where History meets the Present, when the timeline of a rifle intersects a human life, shattering many lives and attitudes. A fabulous and compelling book that will grip the reader and challenge firearms' defenders.
