No current Talk conversations about this book. Left me with teary eyes even on the second time around. ( ![]() I absolutely enjoy reading this book. I want to thank Chris, the men and women who served. R.I.P. Chris Kyle is a compelling storyteller, but his view of war and America is very one-dimensional, and he says more than one racially-charged thing that made me squirm in total discomfort. Also, his whole mention of getting arrested because of barfights made me go, "Really, dude? You can't just mind your own business?" Of course, this review is complicated by knowing the facts of his death as a civilian and wondering what one can appropriately say about the dead. All I know is that he didn't exactly disabuse me of stereotypes I have employed regarding military men. And I am thankful I did not marry one. 00016031 Excellent book. Every American should read this at some point. It gives amazing insight into the difficulties faced by the American military and the men make it out. Chris Kyle analyzes why and how he does what he does, the challenges faced in balancing his life with his family, and how he views himself in the "big picture." Great read. no reviews | add a review
