First blood by david morrell6/12/2023 ![]() In the author's introduction of Rambo: First Blood Part II, Morrell explains that he had no idea a film sequel was in development until he read it in the newspaper (authors seem to be the last to know). Mostly, Rambo is a more arrogant, cocky kid in the novel and at the end of the book ***spoiler alert*** Rambo dies. ![]() That book is much different than the film, as I explained in my review. ![]() Morrell authored First Blood in 1972, the book from which the 1982 blockbuster film was derived from. It's a spellbinding commentary if you love the films as much as I do, but for a casual reading fan Morrell's involvement and writing experiences about creating a novelization of the script was just so captivating. You don't need to be a Rambo enthusiast or fan. I highly recommend reading, or listening to the audio book edition, if you love books. What's interesting about the reprint is the author's lengthy, detailed explanation of how he became involved in the project. In 2016, Gauntlet Press, in collaboration with Borderlands Press, re-printed David Morrell's novelization of Rambo: First Blood Part II. ![]()
