Book Reviews of From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava
Book Review: A Little Bit Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I read this book a few months ago and have only just got round to posting a review, so please forgive the shortness of this post as my memory is a bit sketchy.
I guess the main thing with this book is that once you get past the cute pictures of the dog there is not really that much of an exciting story to tell. I'm not going to give away any spoilers or anything, but I just couldn't help but get the feeling while reading this book that I was wasting my time, or that I wished I was reading something else.
It could be the fact that I am so used to reading juicy/fast moving non fiction books (mostly true crime) that when I tried something a bit different I just found it a bit boring? Whos knows?
I did manage to read the entire book in a couple of days, and it is quite an easy read - the fact that I was on holiday in Bali probably helped a fair bit too. But if you never read this book then you definately won't be missing out on anything. I would give it 2.5 stars if it was possible, but I'm going to have to take the 'half empty' approach and give it 2 (instead of 3).
