Currently Reading: One Bullet Away
Author: Nathaniel Fick
Pros: This is a novel about Nathaniel Fick and his experiences he went through in training for war, and then experiencing the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. I'd reccommend it if you are looking into going into the military, but it is also a good read that shows how Americans fight for their freedom. Thrilling and educational.
Cons: Cost me a whopping $25
Current Rating: Love it, can't stop reading it.
