This is not usually my type of book. If I’m brutally honest, I couldn’t care less about dramatic military fiction. I tune out of the plot lines, hate the cliché characters and these government conspiracy theories are dime a dozen. So why did I actually finish it? The writing, for starters. It’s ...

I actually loved the first part of this book. It was funny, interesting, and full of satire and action. But as I continue reading, the story seemed to be getting serious and sometimes confusing. During the second part, the characters and the story didn't seem like the same characters during the fi...
