Title: Fantasy Island
Product review: Unless you believe that the typical Marine Corps recruit, straight out of high school, uses words like "exemplifies," "engender," "transgressor," and "invariably" -- all of which appear on just one page (page 42) of this book, you will soon question whether Daniel da Cruz even exists. It is worth noting that the author acknowledges the contributions of approximately 130 Marines (ranging from a Major General to Corporals, but no Privates, PFCs or Lance Corporals) to his (or their) effort. In style and content, the book is little more than a recruiting pamphlet. It contains some useful factual information, but readers seeking a realistic description and assessment of modern Marine training should look elsewhere -- "Making the Corps" by Thomas E. Ricks provides a far better description and analysis."Boot" is the right title for this book, but not for the reason the author(s) intended
