Lone Survivor |
|
Lone Survivor should be a must read for every American. I bought 3 more books for friends to read. The sacrifice, discipline and attitude of the Navy Seal in the book really made me realize how lucky we are to have people like him serving our Country. His first hand account of how hard it is to get through Seal training as well as the hardships in Afghanistan was a real eye opener. It would be an honor just to shake his hand. |

With exceptional gratitude |
|
Marcus Luttrell is a true American hero, as well as each and every member of his team. I'm sure he hates the phrase and would say that he was only doing his job. This humble man and his teammates are the epitome of those fighting for our country. We owe our freedom to men like these. I read the book in less than 24 hours because once you start, you can't put it down. God bless these folks and our country. This is book of the year and the sad part is that you'll never read about it in our liberal media. Here's a heartfelt salute to Chief Luttrell and the men like him who fight so we live free. |

Way too jingoistic |
A fellow reviewers comment "Not due to any thrilling narrative but due entirely to the extreme jingoism of the author" pretty much sums up this book for me. I'd heard about the publication of the book on NPR, was looking forward to reading it but gave up after about 80 pages mostly because of the authors endlessly jingoistic tone. I found it a total distraction to what is probably an excellent story. I just finished reading "Highway To Hell" by ex British SAS solder John Geddes and was struck by the difference in how these two authors view the Middle East, it's people and the "war on terror".

THIS BOOK IS GREAT! |
|
This is a great story about a SEAL team against huge odds. I'm horrified that anyone gave it less than a five star. I recommend this for anyone interested in the military stuff or just wants a great book to read. This book is great! Also try loaning it to friends if you think they will like it (trust me they will love it). |

MUST READ! |
|
I have to say this book is an absolute MUST READ! It is mind blowing what these men went through and the story that is told from it. I don't think any movie could ever do this book or story for that matter any justice. I would recommend this book to anyone, even war critics. It's a real eye opener what these men have gone through across seas. |
