This book is written by one of the members Marcus Luttrell. I normally don't read books like this because frankly the subject usually makes me very depressed and sad. Yet I have to say the way Marcus wrote was nice. I don't know if he meant for there to be any humor in the book but I did find myself chuckling and laughing at some of the things he said or how he described things. Maybe I have an odd sense of humor, maybe its from being a security forces member in the Air Force. I don't know but I did enjoy this read even though I wasn't sure what to expect. Superman had mentioned it and I thought I'd look into it. I am doing this 52 books in 52 weeks challenge and this book would qualify for a number of the challenges I was needing to fulfill. I have to say I agree in a lot of things he said and I as very happy to find out the book did not depress me. Granted it did make me sad at moments I mean hell they lost everyone except one. Whoever doesn't get a little sad at that well... I'll keep my opinions to myself. Yet no matter what is written the loss of life is never fully felt except by the ones who had to experience it first hand. My heart goes out to all those who were affect by the loss of amazing men who fought for our country. I'd recommend this book to most people. There are some I probably would never recommend it to, not that I know anyone specifically off the top of my head but there are some view points I would avoid recommending this book too. I have to say I was very touched by this book and am happy I took the chance to read it. Granted I did the audio version but let me tell you the guy who narrated the book, he did a very good job. I probably would have finished the book in one setting but I had started it just before bed, yes right before bed, because frankly I wasn't sure if I was even going to like it. I was shocked a happy shock that it was actually a good read. I think it will stick with me for all my life and I hope others will enjoy it as I have.
