Hunter On Critics Reviewing Hunter

Reston, Va.: How have you felt about the reviews of “Shooter,” including the Washington Post’s? Seems that it hasn’t had the best reviews … do you take the negative reviews personally?

Stephen Hunter: It got some fine notices from some fine critics, about which I was quite pleased. It got mauled by some people for a variety of reasons, some legit, some not. I tried not to take anything personally but in the end it’s all personal, isn’t it.
