"The book makes the reader think on many levels; discussion helps bring up ideas others may not have considered."

This is the type of story that creates a realistic scenario and follows a sequence of believable events. The book is scary from a psychological standpoint. It makes the reader sit back and wonder how much is too much in regards to the government. On a personal level, it made me stop and wonder how certain circumstances influence life-changing decisions.

"Brings up a lot of good points. A good book for clubs"

Probably a good choice this year with the military conflict in Iraq, and an election year. Brings up a lot of good questions, and things to discuss. Sometimes hard to follow with a lot of military jargon, and some of the battle sequences were tedious with too much dialogue to tell what was going on.

A military perspective on the gray areas in politics.

"Ok, not super. Sometimes difficult to read"

This seemed to be poorly edited--like some typesetting mistakes, etc. Story was pretty good, a little laborous in the telling of it. Great idea/plot and probably would generate some good discussion at a club.
