This book is based on true events from Sam Gonzalez Jr.'s life. Which, I really liked the "raw" writing and telling of Mr. Gonzalez Jr.'s story. What I mean by this is that there is a no holds bar. The "f" word is used but in good context. Additionally, I thought it helped lend to portraying Max's angst as he dealt with life and war. Another aspect that I liked about this book is that Max was very relatable; as well the rest of the characters that appeared in this book.

Again, while this book is loosely based on the author's life, it did not read like a stuffy memoir. It kind of read like pages from a journal. This brought me closer to Max. Plus, I enjoyed reading about his experiences in the military. There were no political sides chosen, so you the reader can make up your own assumptions about your feelings of war...good or bad. Instantly, I was transported into this book. A fast read. Fans of military books, memoirs, and good reading will enjoy this book. ( )
