Title: Dissapointing Not Well Written
Product review: I respect the subject matter very much, and have tremendous respect for the author and his comrades serving on the front lines, but I have to give an honest review of this book. It's bad. It's poorly written, very amateurish. Crawford relies on colloquialisms and crass dialogue, which is no doubt accurate from the front lines, to cover for his innate lack of writing skills. His accounts of experiences in Iraq are probably mostly factual, but mostly boring.Let me just put this in perspective, almost 20 years after reading Dispatches for the first time, I still recall the power of the words in that book. Two days after reading The Last True Story and I'm trying to remember something memorable about it.
