review 1: What Minnick is able to do is nothing short of capturing the realities of what the war in Iraq was like during the timeframe of the book. Some stories in it are touching and personal...others are universal.Both insightful and filled with humor, Camera Boy is an enjoyable read from cover to cover.If you want to know about strategy or politics, then pick up a book written by a historian or former general. If you want to know what it was like to be an actual soldier, on the ground in Iraq - armed with a camera more than a rifle - Camera Boy is THE book to read.
review 2: I would give this 3.5 if I could - it was written by a public affairs journalist/camera man in Iraq, and his prose is just better suited to newspapers/magazines than non-fictional accounts. You c... morean tell he's young, doesn't have that awesome of a vocabulary, and I was surprised his descriptions weren't a little more graphic. That being said, it definitely gave me a good picture if what it was like over there for our military as well as the Iraqis (both the ones who were supportive and against the U.S. being there). It was unsettling, to say the least. less
