Lone Survivor Follow-Up

I read it. I finished it over Christmas. Actually there were parts I just could not put the book down! This is a read for those who know going into it that it is a story of the US Navy SEALs and thus there will be some language. However, I for one am really intolerant of language almost always but for some reason in this book I was able to enjoy it regardless. This is also a read for those going into to it who realize that it is not written by a super accomplished, poetic writer. In fact there were times where I think Luttrell (the author) repeats himself. But I didn't read it for the writing style. I read it for the story of his mission in Afghanistan and his rescue. Both reasons were well worth it. So unbelievable. Really. I think it would prove to be a good book for discussion. My brother (who had recommended it to me) and I got into such a good conversation after I finished it! That was one of my favorite parts of my Christmas break--the seriously thoughtful discussion that ensued with my brother and eventually other family members simply because of this book. It will lead one to review what they think about our troops vs. our politicians and safety.
