2.5 stars rounded up to three, because parts of this story broke my heartWow, this was so not what I expected. This is gonna be a long review, and a very personal one at that. Let me elaborate on my disappointment. When the movie with Bradley Cooper came out, my man was positively stoked. Ex-German ...
American Sniper is the story of a man who put his life on the line time and time again for the benefit of his country. He felt it was his duty to America, and it left him at odds with his wife.As the book progresses, you quickly learn to like Chris Kyle. I never met the man myself, but I am deeply m...
Wow! This book is shocking! Even though I'm not in total agreement with Chris Kyle, seeing it from his point of view is very interesting. This is a great story because it makes the reader think and feel about subjects we often ignore. I'm kind of speechless. I am just a bunch of mixed emotions ...
Done - made it maybe half and I'm done. Poorly written and Kyle isn't at all who I had hoped or thought he was. Not a fan and I don't recommend it - I'll leave it at that.
Fascinating subject matter, treated honestly and openly. A fascinating and for reasons I cannot grasp, polarizing man to many.

The book's author (and ex-CIA agent), Antonio Mendez, also wrote Argo, which was/is, IMHO, just a better book. I'd say more, but I'm on a frantic book logging catch-up scramble, so, for now, I'll leave it at that.
It's not often that you see an adult male protagonist who is not an "alpha male" in a suspense/thriller/mystery book. I liked that Jason represented males who are scoffed at, derided, bullied, and dismissed. It made him seem more human, more fragile, and frankly, made his crime more believable. O...
Disturbing in every aspect, I found myself horrified that ours is a world that so greatly needs the talents, and expertise of men and women like Chris Kyle. At the same time I gained a new appreciation for how fortunate we are to have men and women like Chris Kyle serving as protectors of our freedo...
