Great read.. This book was a very easy read and really puts a lot into perspective when thinking about what soldiers and especially special operators go through on some missions. I never saw any real combat time, I worked on the very chinooks they got picked up by and have the utmost respect for these individuals! Great book!

great. Bought the book, as a Vietnam Veteran I say...."oooorah" And thanks for your service and courage. More need to hear and see to KNOW what it takes to keep our freedoms, even though we fight on foreign fields, they ARE STILL no different then the FIRST field on April 19, 1775 when a few men STOOD, so that many might be free!

RLTW!!. I am a former 3rd batt Rangers! I was In The same company as nick at the same time. If you want to read a real world account of what it is like to be a sniper and become a Ranger this book is for you. Keep up the good work brother #BENKOPP

OUTSTANDING. I hate reading most of the time, this had me ready for the next page all the time! I see Irv on demo ranch and other videos. It would be an absolute honor to meet him, thank him for his service and glad that he was safe to write this book along with the “cookie monster” thank you for a great read!

Great Read. Totally enthralling look at what our guys do and went through in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Great story of sniping. This was a very enjoyable read about the life and struggles as a marine sniper. Very insightful about what it is really like to go out and protect your fellow soldiers.

The Reaper. Fantastic Read !! Thank you very much for your service. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Joe

Star of our Country. This book shares the story of a true American hero.

Excellent, fast read. It was a great read! You felt like you were really part of the war and in battle at times.

AWSOME BOOK. This book tells the AWSOME story of a sniper in afghan

Good read. The book had a very true sense of what the military was like. It is amazing to realize that men so young were fighting for their lives in distant Lands. Real warriors. This will probably be made into a movie. I look forward to it Dr Liberty

Awesome book. This book is so good!!! There are some really good stories in here, I have wanted to be in the military all my life. This was the perfect book for me

Great book. Very vivid detail and emotions

You feel every Moment. You feel every Moment in the Book, so much so you feel as if you were there !

Must Read. Really appreciated the book, if you are going to go to war, do it like this guy!

The Reaper By: Nicholas Irving and Gary Brozek. I enjoyed this book up until a point. The way the action and combat was depicted made you feel the tension. It made me feel like I was experiencing the situation, and he was able to pull me into his own past. This book was very immersive in the combat aspect. The only downside I found with this book was how dry it became. As I continued to read, the style and tone of the book was continuous. The transitions between the story were well done, but each mission was written in the same way. If there was some variation to the tone or style of writing, I believe it would keep it from being too repetitive.

Good book. It was a good read for me .

Relatable. As a veteran, my experience is as far apart from Sgt. Nicholas Irving’s as the number of years when I enlisted. There weren’t any major wars (knock on wood) during my brief term in the early 80’s. However, as I “Carry On,” and read his detailed look into the daily life of an American Sniper, Sgt. Nicholas Irving’s accounts seem very relatable. That is, it’s written in a style that ex-vet/nerds like myself can enjoy his sharing of the latest military technology, terminology, and procedures, but there’s enough civilian life stories for the non-vets as well. Reading Sgt. Irving’s more recent experience satisfies my curiosity of how things are done nowadays in the service. Reading on, as he rose to the level of soldier reserved for an elite few, I never got the impression of someone who was bragging or telling self-aggrandizing falsehoods to build-up his reputation. I have plenty of experience with those types of soldiers as well. In fact, there’s a recent, comparative example of a Sniper who did just that. But Nicholas’ reputation remains controversy free making this a guilt free read. Neither is Nicholas’ recollections all “Drums and Trumpets” as some military biographies can be. He chose well to include his pre-military, younger years in the book also keeping with the relatability for both the vet and non-vet alike. Without giving a spoiler, there’s one story in particular, that triggers an embarrassing memory of my youth. It was a cringing moment for me but not the kind from watching a poorly produced movie scene, just the kind from a memory I wish I could have a do over. There were good ones as well like when he recalled the same love for the military movies as I have. Sgt. Nicholas Irving is the kind of NCO I would’ve loved to serve under. “Well done sir, er, uh, I mean Sergeant”

Incredible. I finally got some time to finish this book because of obligations with the Marine Corps and College and this is by far a Must Read! I could visualize everything he was writing about and as I write this review I am still at awe. Do yourself a favor and read this book, it is an incredible one.

Great book. Great book, great author. True American hero. Buy it. RLTW

Awesome. Awesome look into his experience!

Outstanding. Thank you for writing your experiences and sharing your thoughts and emotions from your work. We Americans are so very blessed to share a country with true heroes like you and all of our servicemen and women. God bless you all...and thank you.
