I have never read a book like this. It really is a book you don't want to put down. I personally liked reading the 'L.A. facts' that Frey put in the book. Los Angeles is it own character in this book. The only chapter that I didn't like was the one about all the freeways and highways, it was a little long and boring

the writing and plot are awful! I had to stop reading about half way through. I thought at first it would be a 'guilty pleasure' book, but the plot just seems to get more and more ridiculous. I know that it is fiction but the actions of the main character are stupid. thankfully I didn't pay for this book, someone gave it to me to read. what a waste of time.

This book is not for the faint of heart. It can be very graphic in the details of what happen to her and her family. To me it seems more of a journalistic telling of the story but that may be because she had Steve Jackson writing with her. Either way it is written well and a interesting story.

It's a good story but there is a lot of cursing and some sexual situations that may not be for people who can't handle graphic depictions. It was a little much for me, but I did get through it. Just wanted to give a bit of a warning before it goes out.

I have read all of Jon Krakauer's books and would have to say this book is my favorite from him. He is writing as journalist, but at the same time he writes about Pat Tillman as if he knew the man. It made me feel like I understood Pat Tillman better than just reading articles about him. I feel like he did some justice for this very private and very extraordinary person. You get a real sense of the tragedy of Pat Tillman dying at such a young age. He seemed to me that he was a very caring, loving and loyal man to his wife, family and close friends. If more 'celebrities' that our children look up to could be like him and for the fact, more everyday people could be more like him, we could have a better world. I highly recommend this book and 'Boots On The Ground By Dusk' by Pat Tillman's mother Mary Tillman.

not bad for a Christian novel. i normally wouldn't have picked this book if i had known it was a Christian novel but it wasn't preachy. It was really low violence, no cursing and no sex.
