jenlee33 's review for:
Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman
by Jon Krakauer
*audio book review*
Krakauer did an amazing job of keeping my interest, even though I already knew the outcome, by way of extensive research (a credit to his journalistic talents) and riveting, detailed descriptions. I was, in equal parts, inspired by Pat Tillman's courage and character and outraged by the chain of events that led to his death. I'm guessing that I would've enjoyed reading this book more than listening to it, as there were times where it was hard to keep track of the names (especially in the sections on Afghan history) as well as distinguishing between excerpts (e.g., from Tillman's journal) versus Krakauer's own words.
