American Sniper

This book was fantastic. I did need a small amount of time to get through how simple and to the point it is written. Once I overcame the new writing style I sank in to a very visual experience from Kyle's life. Written more honestly than much of what I have read from this genre, Chris Kyle really did not hold back when it came to saying what he felt needed to be said. Taya, Chris Kyle's wife, provided an incredible side of the story which gave my wife and I a more full understanding of the life described by these patriotic people. The book offered less about what it means to be a sniper, the nuts and bolts of the trade, and more about his life, experiences, thoughts, feelings, and lessons learned. Finally, his conclusion was eloquent, simple, and compelling. Overall this was a great read and I am glad I took the time.
