Decent, not as good as his other books

Revisado: 10-07-22

It was decent, but I didn’t like it quite as much as his other books. It leaned a little too much into a political commentary for my taste.

Great story, excellently narrated

Revisado: 07-21-17

This was a very compelling and interesting book that also had very disturbing events that will stick in my mind.

Excellent Book!

Really gripping. I couldn't stop listening! The narrator really brought this book to life. The gruesome details were hard to stomach at times but were necessary to tell a story that reflects reality.

Too Long and Rambly

Revisado: 03-01-17

This book was way too long and had so many rambling monologues it was just really hard to finish.

Good info, bad narration

Revisado: 10-31-15

Great info, but the narrator does not understand the need to pause between words, sentences, or even chapters. It's all just kind of quickly blended together.

A bit boring, but seems realistic

Revisado: 10-31-15

This book is a combination of the mundane, frustrating and slow-moving with episodes of the horrific and tragic. This does not make for a great story but is perhaps closer to what I imagine war would actually be like.

Interesting and Compelling

Revisado: 10-31-15

One of the most interesting and compelling books about war that I've listened to, although perhaps glorifying war a bit.

Waste of my time

Revisado: 10-30-15

When I heard the forward by Newt Gingrich, I instantly knew I'd made a big mistake. This author took a really neat idea for a story and ruined it with right-wing fear mongering. About 7 of the 13 hours of this story were just the characters rambling on about how real the threat of an EMP attack is and how it could have been easily prevented. This book could be retitled: The Conservative Republican's View of Human Nature. In addition to this author's ridiculous agenda, the attitudes present throughout rubbed me the wrong way, like the main character referring to his beloved family dogs as idiots and justifying executions with Christian undertones. This book presents a depressingly pessimistic view of human nature. The sad part is that there was a really interesting and thought-provoking story trapped in all of this. I just wish I hadn't had to listen to the extra 7 hours or so of garbage to hear it.

Great listen

Revisado: 07-14-15

Overall, this book had some awesome insights. I don't particularly like hearing "war stories" about people's drinking days, but they are a necessary part of the story. It was a realistic view of the process of transformation someone goes through when becoming sober. I found her views on God and atheism a bit small-minded and egocentric, in that she assumes people are atheists merely because they have an intellectual understanding of the past transgressions of religion. She conflates the concept of belief in God with religion and says we are all born with a God shaped hole. But other than that, it was good.

Great book! Inexpensive, too.

Excellent information on how to develop a learning attitude and a present centered focus. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in self growth.
