A MUST Read!

I just finished the craziest book I have ever read. It is the true story of a team of Navy SEALs that got ambushed in Afghanistan in 2005 and it reads like a movie. It should be made into a movie. I'm not even going to tell you anymore because I don't want to ruin anything. I will never look at special ops forces, the media, or the entire US Armed Forces the same. I also love the fact that it shows all aspects of the Afghan people, especially the Pashtun people, not just the bad stuff. He is also a Christian and the obvious hand of God in his story is so encouraging.

*Be warned, this is a war story so violence and language are very present...but it was easy for me to get past. It just makes the story more real. Can't wait to hear what you think...cause you'll be done in about two days!

My hubby just finished this book and said I had to read it. Maybe I will do just that!

Looks like a good one! I'm reading Grisham's newest one but we've been so busy and it's taking me forever to get through it! I'll have to keep this one in mind...

Ahhh. I want to read it now. I'll have to try to get it from the library when I get back. I'm starting Adam in about 10 seconds!

I bought this book and it has been sitting on my nightstand since it has been released. Bad, bad me. Now I guess i will have to read it.
