I am so happy I finished this book. I loved this book all the way through, cover-to-cover. If you like learning about 9/11, the hunt for bin Laden, and what it is like to be a Navy SEAL, this book is for you.

Only 8 pages left and Osama Bin Laden is dead, I am so happy. This book has been long and the very end is where the big mission aka "Operation Neptune's Spear" takes place.

I am thrilled because the raid on Bin Laden is just 2 or 3 pages away and I am very intrigued about what the raid was like.

I am very excited that my book is approaching the raid on a compound in Abbottabad Pakistan, that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011.

I find it very sad that these combat dogs can't get bulletproof gear like our soldiers can. We have lost too many service dogs in our country's years.

I think that if I was the author I would be scared because the author was in a firefight and he couldn't move from his cover as he was getting fired upon by the Taliban.

I wonder what was going through the author's mind when he was clearing a building and the next day, a newspaper article said that the US Military are ninjas and come in with lions(dogs) in Afghanistan in 2007.

I am glad we had these fantastic SEAL Team operators during the early 2000s fighting in the war that was started because of 9/11.

I think that it was amazing how the US military had adapted to how al-Queda had fought and reacted to the SEALs' fighting.

I think that it was amazing how the US Armed Forces in the middle east in 2007, had adapted to the way al-Queda fought and reacted to their fighting.

I find it kinda weird that there was a black incense stick that my main character set fire to it, she goes through a memory of her dead moms and one of her dads. Once she wakes up, the stick has vanished without a trace

I think it was rude of the main character's father, to leave her with her maternal grandparents whom she had never seen before.

I think it would be traumatizing to walk into a room that was fired into by the US Army Rangers with a Carl Gustav(a Swedish-made shoulder-fired rocket launcher) 5 times, just to see bodies flown around the room and hear blood rush from a severed arm.

I am glad that my main character(Leigh) got to go to Tiapai to see her maternal grandparents for the first time in her life.

I think that it is crazy that the Taliban and al-Qaeda had surface-to-air heat-seeking missiles in 2005, it just blows my mind.

I think it is very cool that the author of the book is who the book is about and that he went through the US military's toughest training, BUD/S, and that he was a navy SEAL.

I don't know how to feel because don't know what it feels like to have an extreme amount of pay in my hip constantly.

I am glad that the one survivor of the Virgil County High School Massacre that tried to tell their story right after the shooting and got silenced, was able to get their story out alongside all the other survivors who saw it(or heard it).

I feel bad for Jenny(the girlfriend of the main character Eden) because she has to deal with her girlfriend drinking daily and becoming a drunk. After all, I know firsthand what that does to people.

I am kinda mad at Sarah Mchale's parents for not believing Lee(a main character who was best friends with Sarah) when she tried to tell them the truth about what happened to their daughter the day she died.

I am sad because there is a lot of misconceptions going around about the school shooting in my book and all the main characters say the rumors aren't true

I am glad that my main character is a senior this year in the book but, I am still sad about them having to live a life without their best friend.

I genuinely feel bad for the main characters in my book because every anniversary of the shooting they can't sleep and now they have to go to school the very next day.

I feel very bad for all of the people who were involved in my book's school shooting.

I feel bad for all the shooting survivors and that it took them 5 months to reopen the school for the students to resume.

I am thrilled that I finally know what jumping out of an airplane is like because my main character finally did it during training to get his jump wings.

I am very excited to see what my main character does after he jumps out of a modified C-47 plane for the first time.

I am very curious as to what my main character is going to be doing at Fort William Henry Harrison

I'm excited because my main character got into a fight on a train, and his mouth is bleeding.

I am happy that my main character is going to be a part of the first special forces
