Reading .5

The book I'm reading it' been fantastic so far. I'm not a person who loves reading, I prefer hang out with friends or if I'm alone play videogames. But this book, this book it's very interesting to me. When I start reading it, I never want to quit, because it's addicting. The way the author writes leaves suspance in the reader, the numerous flashbacks help you not to get bored. The very beginning of the book deals with being a seal, the huge effort he had to make to become one of the best militars in the world. That was probably the slowest part of the book, which it's followed by a super dynamic part full of unbelievable experiences.

The most important word of the book I'm reading I think is "we". He always uses it, it has a strong meaning. The seals risk their lives each day, they know that, they're not scared by that, and one of the reasons is because they fight as a group. The author believes that the life is'not unlimited, it ends, but if there's a thing that can make your life being remembered that's how you live your life. He said already twice in the book: "we chose not to die as men, we chose to live forever as heroes". I think that this sentence is the most important and deepest I've read so far. The more I read the book, the more I understand what it deals with; the war is not the main topic, it's more like the background of the book, because the real theme is the life. I can tell that right now, after a couple hundred of pages, the book more than be a war story is a reflection about life. Reading this book I'm understanding what being American means, this sense of belonging to a nation, this sense of fighting for your nation is somewhat of totally new for me.

The book I'm reading is written in 1st person, which one of the reasons why I like it so much. A book written in first person has a total addictive effect on me, because I feel that what I'm writing its directly told me by the author, like in a confession. The sentences are often complicated because the author spends a lot of words describing the environment around him before everything else. Each detail is rich of vivid and refined adjectives, and sometimes reading it gets boring. The author uses that kind of slow narration to break the action, to stop talking about the main topic and create suspance in the reader. In particular in the last pages I've read I found completely interesting the sentence that Matt, the protagonist and the writer of the book, said to a taliban figher while he was running after him: "You know, you can die for your country, but I decided to live for mine."
