American Sniper (book)

American Sniper written by Chris Kyle.

After watching movie I had to get out and get the book and read it.  His life haunted my mind after the seeing the movie and did the same after I read the book.

A good biographer that fully captures Kyle's personality and it written in a conversational type of way that makes reading it easy.  It also captures a perfect glimpse behind the closed doors of being a SEAL and how that job affects a person both positively and negatively.  Kyle didn't shy away from showing how it affected it at home and in the field.  It is a warts and all type of book.  I don't read a lot biographies but this one was one of the best ones I've read.  I also liked the few places where his wife interjected  her thoughts into what was going on.  My one critique of this book is that I wish it had had more of her voice throughout because it gave a good balance to this thoughts.
