Talk about a good start

I’ve just started reading Stephen Hunter’s latest novel, “I, Sniper” and it has perhaps the best opening pages of any book in recorded history.

I just can’t describe the smile it brings to my face as characters not-at-all subtly based on Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn get their just rewards in such detailed and violent ways.

Now, back to the book.

UPDATE

Should've finished the chapter. It looks like he gets Howard Zinn too.

UPDATE 2

Upon further reflection, I don't think the fourth one is Zinn. Does anyone know of a '60s era anti-Vietnam War leftist who fancies himself funny and writes books for young adults?
