Inspirational person, her story in this book meh..
Revisado: 01-11-22
**** this is a book review, not an OER*****
I couldn't get passed the fact that a lot of her story is just her not realizing that she was, and still is, a spoiled brat.
If you really want an inspiration life story check out Can't Hurt Me - by David Goggins.

Must read for service members and civilians
Revisado: 03-31-20
Karl Marlantes allows himself to be vulnerable in this story of his service. He touches on the separation of those who send our young people into war and the lasting effects that soldiers sometimes carry with them.
Highly recommended book.

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

What a powerful story of the connections that create great meaning in life. How quickly we can get caught up in the material and the "rat race".

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Nothing very insightful
Revisado: 10-26-18
It’s very interesting to hear the combat stories, however, it seemed like the concepts are very common sense.

The main character is an idiot
Revisado: 10-26-18
While the beginning of the book started of interesting enough, once things started down the “bag” mystery I kept yelling at the main female character. She makes one stupid decision after another. Sadly, I kept reading hoping it would get better. Maybe the author intended it this way?

Admitedly truly enjoyed this book
Revisado: 08-06-13
Would you listen to Danger Zone again? Why?
Looking at the cover I was a little... skeptical to purchase this book. I thought it would be "fluff." To my surprise I was drawn into the story. And the "fluffy" parts seemed like an afterthought to the true meaning of the story. however, the author does do a great job describing the scene seemingly depicted on the cover.
