i was glad when i was done reading the book, i didn’t think i would make it through. some parts of the book i like, but sometimes it got too technical that it lost me. i like more of the personal touch he put into it, but not having a military background and not being familiar with some of the things he talked about kind of turned me off. another thing that bothered me was how he kept saying how other people kept telling him what a great writer he was, and comparing him to hunter s thompson and chuck palahniuk. makes me want to read fear and loathing and any palahniuk book and see if it’s remotely true. i feel like it can’t be. maybe he was better at writing the blogs than writing an entire book. just one girl’s opinion.
