A great true story October 20, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
a must read, not for the quality of the writing but for the amazing story it tells.
Compelling, Inspirational, No-Holds-Barred October 19, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Add me to the 500 or so people who thought this is a five-star book. From page one, you zoom through a compelling true story of how our Navy Seals wage war, despite the disgusting lack of support they receive from their own politicians and the media abck home. Luttrell takes you through SEAL training and utterly convinces you that these are truly supermen. Thank God they're on our side. And one of the most important parts of their success is their warrior brotherhood. Make no mistake: Navy SEALS are overachievers who never quit and who undergo the most rugged training in the world. Sure, this book has a lot of braggadocio, ego, wise cracks and anti-liberal cant in it, but these men are mostly from small-town America and they salute a sense of values that their snidely sophisticated critics -- you know, the ones these guys protect --couldn't understand in a million years. This is a must read!
Must read. Hooyah. October 18, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The best book I've read in years. The book title said exactly what it is. It kept me going, crying, and I couldn't put it down. I strongly recommend this book to anyone. I'm forever greatful to live here in the best country in the world. Thank you Mr. Marcus Luttrell, his teammates, and many many more made the sacrifice for our country. Hooyah.
Lone Survivor October 11, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Lone Survivor should be a must read for every American. I bought 3 more books for friends to read. The sacrifice, discipline and attitude of the Navy Seal in the book really made me realize how lucky we are to have people like him serving our Country. His first hand account of how hard it is to get through Seal training as well as the hardships in Afghanistan was a real eye opener. It would be an honor just to shake his hand.

Marcus Luttrell is a true American hero, as well as each and every member of his team. I'm sure he hates the phrase and would say that he was only doing his job. This humble man and his teammates are the epitome of those fighting for our country. We owe our freedom to men like these. I read the book in less than 24 hours because once you start, you can't put it down. God bless these folks and our country. This is book of the year and the sad part is that you'll never read about it in our liberal media. Here's a heartfelt salute to Chief Luttrell and the men like him who fight so we live free.
