Excellent book , easy and pleasant read. Tragically the author was murdered shortly after it was written. Nice epilogue honoring Chris by his wife.

If you have read American Sniper this is a MUST read for after! It is a short great tribute to the life of Chris Kyle. It is a super quick and easy read too.

Chris was killed after leaving the military as a sniper. This book became a best seller after he was killed, after he had left the military.

I enjoyed listening to American Sniper while driving to work. It definitely reads as if a young contemporary soldier wrote it... there is some swearing and he tells it like it is. There is no PC sugar-coating going on here. I don't know if I would consider this a classic, or even use it for difinitive reference for a history or military science class, but you will learn from it and enjoy the experience.
I read half of it, and listened to about half... the accent of the reader is a little bit taxing... I know Chris Kyle was a native Texan... but the reader has some twang I had to adjust my ears to.
Ultimately you will not regret buying this.
Also, regardless of whether or not you like his politics (or lack thereof), and whether or not you think he is a hero, his death was tragic and maybe you should take the time to hear what he had to say.

I love Chris Kyle for his patriotism and sacrifice. Saw this at the movies but wanted my own copy. Thanks!

Chris Kyle was a true American hero! The book takes you onto the battlefield and into the mind and emotions of a highly trained Navy Seal sniper. Lots of details the average American citizen would never be privy to outside this book but not so minutely detailed you want to skip sections and pages.

This book was a good read, I couldn't put it down. I knew Chris was a decorated sniper but didn't know much else about him. This guy is a hero! I enjoyed the opportunity provided through this book to glimpse into a heroes life. My only complaint is that I should have read the book after watching the movie. I don't want to knock the movie (it was a good flick as well) but this book was so good it left me complaining to myself about the details in the movie. Packaged well and arrived on time as usual

Great book. Does tell Chris Kyle's story a little differently than the movie, but I think it is great hearing it from his own words. He doesn't try and make it sound any different or make himself look better than he probably was.

Most books seem disingenuous. They talk up the great and leave out the struggle. Struggle defines our nation. Right and wrong defines our nation. Chris Kyle is a true American Hero. Spinning plates to protect his boys while struggling to find a personal balance with his family. I'm thankful that God granted him time for both.

As American's we should all stand proud that warriors like Chris Kyle were willing to give so much to defend our freedom. I would have loved to have bought him a cold beer, and I'm saddened his children will not grow up with their dad but I'm confident his character will live on in their hearts. God Bless Chris, his family and his sacrifice!

Stephen  Kings essay on guns was quite good actually. I am pro gun and agreed with him on quite a few areas, even though  Mr. King is for some gun control. A good read on a very controversial subject. Would suggest all read it, for .99 it is well worth it.

Good read, I'm not a sci fi person, but had an interest in the book because it was written by a fellow member of a firearms enthusiasts site.  When the book was discussed, it got my curious, so I bought and read it.  Very, very good on the firearms aspects of the book.  Since I've never written a novel, or had anything published, I think this was a hell of an effort.  If/when a sequel comes out, I'll buy and read that as well...

This book should be required reading for high school students so that they learn the true meaning of patriotism. Chris Kyle is one of the best examples of a true American hero that I know. It is such a shame that he was killed in such a senseless way after surviving 4 deployments in a horrendous war.
