review 1: One of the best, if not the best, novels I have read this year. This is now one of my favorite military books. This author is a great writer, and this book is a great story. I am personally tired of books about war, but this one is different. It is unique, engaging, and the writing draws you into the characters.Highly recommended to my friends who know the types of books I enjoy; this is one to keep.

... morer than the subject matter, the book seems well-written descriptive-wise, but the story wasn't engaging enough to truly grab me as an "outsider." It felt slow-paced without a lot of character development. 100 pages in, I still couldn't identify with any one character. It's a modern-day WAR HORSE without the emotional impact. less

A great story, very gripping, but occasionally I thought I was reading Cormac McCarthy.

Enjoyable page-turner. After a certain point, it's difficult to set the book down.

3.75HORSE SOLDIERS by Doug Stanton makes a good non-fiction companion piece.

A good book. Ending true to life ( in other words, not neat and tidy)..
