You would not think I would love this book so much, since basically it is 100% about guys in military training, shooting, dead guys, blood, outdoor survival, guns, etc... I mean seriously, there is ZERO kissing in this book. But surprisingly, I was amazingly addicted to this book. Marcus Luttrel (the author, who the story is about) is AMAZING. I actually decided I wanted to be a Navy SEAL after reading this book, plus I wanted to go hunt Taliban guys. That is the way I judge a book as good. If it makes me want to be part of the action, it's good.

You could tell he wasn't a professional writer as you read through the book, as the writing wasn't all smooth and flowy-esque. That made me almost like it more. It was obvious that he was telling the story himself, and not that some flowery author had taken a heroic story and changed it to best fit the stereotype of a best selling novel. Nope, it was written just like a military hero awesome guy would write it. Rather than being a great book because of how well it was written, it is an amazing book because of the story it tells. I hope someday to be as brave and cool in my whole body as Marcus Luttrell is in his little baby pinkie.

Oh my gosh Navy SEALS are so awesome and cool!!
