Title: Not bad, not anything
Review: I wanted to like this book badly, because I am married to a "Jarhead". Unfortunately, I simply did not enjoy the style of writing. He writes with an almost Hunter Thompson quality, just not as good or engaging.I was not offended by any of it, I know the Marine Corps, and his descriptions of his buddies rings true of most Marines I know, with some exceptions.The main problem with this book was that I was simply bored throughout. I should say however, that a Marine I find to be relatively intelligent said, "This is the best book ever." That being said, if you're in or connected to the USMC, you'll probably enjoy it, at least marginally. If you're not, in my opinion, it can be skipped. Read Evan Wright's _Generation Kill_ instead.
