Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell

 

8/10

I'm ba-ack! Not sure why I got out of the groove of posting my books, but the further I got behind the harder it was to make a post. Hopefully I can knock out some posts real quick to get caught back up. The posts will probably be short and sweet because I don't remember as much about my reading experience since it's been so long. Doesn't make for a very interesting post, but I need to jot these down. For posterity.

I read this book several months ago. I had mixed feelings on this one. I liked the story and the great detail about the incident where he and three others were caught behind enemy lines and pinned down with seemingly no way out. And, as the title of the book implies, the author is the only one to make it out alive through a series of incredible events. You can't help but respect the sacrifice of these men. Lots of heroes in this one.

The part that bothered me about this book is how the author kept taking little stabs at Democrats and making politics part of the story in such a negative way. Few things annoy me more than the negativity of politics, so I didn't enjoy that part of the book. But in the end, it was a very enjoyable and inspiring book and I'm glad that I read it.
