American Sniper Book Review Beck Gozdenovich

Summary:
American Sniper is an autobiography written the most lethal sniper in U.S. history, Chris Kyle. He guides us along his life before, during, and after his time spent as a navy SEAL in the military. He gives a brief background about his childhood and what it was like growing up in Texas. Then he moves on to his motives for joining the military. He describes his training and boot camp in extreme detail and it is very eye-opening. Then he extensively describes his life in active service. He dives deep into each category of military life, the combat, the missions, the gear, the stress, and even the downtime. After he finishes his duty, he then describes how his life was after his service and how he was effected by the war both positively and negatively.

Recommendation:
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading. It highlights the sacrifices soldiers make to keep their country safe, and their incentives for doing so. It is a very eye-opening read, even to those with little to no interest in war-style books. Even if you don't read the book, the movie is a great alternative.

Overall Rating:
I would give this book a 4.5 out of 5 because the great life lessons this book teaches and because of how intriguing the whole book is
