    "Wtf is wrong with this audio"
    Would you try another book from Mark Owen and Kevin Maurer and/or Holter Graham?

    Yes


    What was one of the most memorable moments of No Easy Day?

    The bin laden mission action, as well as the life of a SEAL


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Holter Graham?

    Anyone, the kid down the street, my coworker Sandy, Randy the guy who works at KFC


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    Yes


    Any additional comments?

    The audio itself was mainly fine, but for some odd reason it kept switching back and forth between two different voices or sounds like it was dubbed in later....not too bad at first but after a while it gets really annoying. Sad because the book itself is really good, but the audio is terrible

    "Great Book!!"

    Outstanding book. A must read for anyone who wants to know the inside truth of what really happened on that dark night. Our special forces are without the best of the best. And that is why they picked and trained and practiced months in advance before entering the Bin Laden compound. To say they were prepared is an understatement. These seals can kick but with such precession and accuracy. Keeps you so riveted that you don't want to stop listening. I love this book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read about why it was "No easy Day". Get it!!

    Story
    "Works better as children's book"
    Would you try another book from Mark Owen and Kevin Maurer and/or Holter Graham?

    I would not read another book by either Author. The book seemed to be a cross between a boys adventure book and a swift boat attempt.


    What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

    The SEAL Training info.


    What does Holter Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    He can use the foul expletives from the book without making the entire performance sound profane


    Was No Easy Day worth the listening time?

    Should have just gone with the reviews.

    Story
    "Hard to put down"

    I enjoy reading history and lost a friend in the WTC. So I was eager to read about the hunt for Bin Laden and the end of this chapter in American history from someone who was there. The book did not disapooint. I found myself racing through it as if I didn't know how the mission ended


    I applaud the authors for their writing talent. I am sure the Pentagon is not happy with the details provided here because the military is highly cautious about disclosing anything that could divulge a training or mission specific technique. And they do have to worry about many books being written not just this one.

    Still there didn't seem any big secrets divulged. And the facts I thought interesting weren't likely big secrets. SEALS often take Ambien the night before a mission. SEALS take and wear the gear they think most useful and let their hair grow longer than regulation. SEALS are issued Gerber tools. SEALS trying to make Team 6 have to do an unspecified number of pushups, pullups and sit ups in under a minute then do a timed swim in open water.

    And as a book its very entertaining..

    It's matter of fact realism.
