Title: Inspiring, but boring
Review: Like most readers, I bought this book based on glowing reviews in print publications and on Amazon.The description of the incredibly rigorous training program that Navy Seals must endure, and how that program culls out so many otherwise outstanding candidates is interesting. Citizens and residents of the US are very fortunate to have such soldiers defending the nation, and what Seals endure to serve their country is inspiring.The writing is simple and clear. But the characters are uniformly portrayed in a two-dimensional way and so ultimately it's kind of a gung-ho but boring read.As with many non-fiction books, it could have been done as or more effectively through an in-dept magazine article.
Is the review positive or negative?
