American Sniper (Kyle) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[My] favorite book of the year. Chris Kyle’s American Sniper: It’s an amazingly detailed account of fighting in Iraq a humanizing, brave story that’s extremely readable. It will give you a much stronger appreciation of our troops, more awe for Navy SEALs and also insight into how wars are really fought today.
Patricia Cornwell - New York Times Book Review


(Refers to audio version.) One of the most feared soldiers to ever set foot on the battleground that was and still is Iraq, Kyle recounts his bloody tales of war with deadly accuracy. Skillfully narrated by John Pruden, these fascinating war stories offer insight into the perils of modern combat.... Kyle’s story is gripping.
Publishers Weekly


Reads like a first-person thriller narrated by a sniper. The bare-bones facts are stunning. .... A first-rate military memoir
Booklist


[T]his memoir...takes a more unassuming and approachable tone in narrating his improbable journey from a modest Texas childhood to becoming a sniper with SEAL Team 3 and serving four deployments in IraqEloquent ... An aggressively written account of frontline combat, with plenty of action.
