Chris Kyle U.S. Navy SEAL served his country fighting in Iraq from 1999 to 2009. During this time he reworded the most career sniper kills. The enemy feared him and placed a bounty on his head. The people serving with him called him “The Legend”.

This story tells of his personal life, family life, and the four tours served in Iraq. emotional events, hair-raising events, and losses of close friends are detailed in the fast-moving story.

This book encapsulates his life from childhood, high school, college, and adulthood. It also shows the dangerous jobs, his family life with his wife and children, His dedication to his country, the military members he protects, and his skills in dealing with the enemy. It is more than a war story.

This book is about people and how they deal with everyday life. It is about sacrifices and emotions. Readers who want to know about people, war, and giving of self will enjoy this book.

My favorite part was the scene about his miraculous shot taking down an extremely dangerous and precise enemy sniper. I had other favorite scenes. The entire book is very, very good.

I didn't like the military personnel being wounded and killed.

I wanted to thank Chris Kyle for his service along with the US armed forces.

I felt like I was in the battles with Chris Kyle and the people with him. I got to know him through this story. I also learned a lot about snipers.

The raw details of this story bring the reader into war, family life for wives and children who await the return of the people fighting, and the emotions and challenges of returning home after fighting for this country.

This book is written in a personal manner showing details of a life brought through the riggers of war, torn apart, and then put together again.

Details of bloody battles are described. Otherwise, if the reader can bypass whatever they don't want to read this is a very good book.

Chris Kyle writes as if telling me the story. I was able to see through his words all the details.
