This is my DB book and he gave it to me before leaving (he has another copy

). I just finished reading it a few days ago and

!! Seriously has to be one of the BEST books I have ever read!

I

it!! It made me

, it made me

it was just a great book all around. Such a great story and such a wonderful thing that Marcus Lutrell was able to write this book.

Soo

Has anyone else read it?? And if you did what did you think??

Is that the book about the Navy Seals? If so my husband read it. He really liked it.

My husband has that, and enjoyed it. Maybe I'll read it after this semester is over.

Yes I've read it. It is very good book but a sad one indeed. It is kind of personal to me for personal reasons.

Very good book, very good story and very well written. I read it with almost no break. I couldn't put it down. What a shame, if all is true in the book, that our service men and women are getting killed for fear of prosecution for doing their job. They do not have a second to hesitate when making the kill or be killed decision, but they are being forced to hesitate. Very sad. Lutrell was built to be a Seal.

Yeah.. everything IS true in the book. Very sad..
