Writing a review for this type of book is always very tricky. On the one hand, I certainly respect Taya Kyle's decision to write a memoir, as I'm sure it was a tremendously healing process. On the other hand, much of the content seemed so personal, that I couldn't help but feel uncomfortably voyeuristic, always considering whether or not Chris would've okayed millions of people worldwide knowing such personal details. However, that is not my call to make, so I had to let that go.
For the most part, the content was interesting, and I learned a bit about the life of a military wife. It seems tremendously lonely, and undoubtedly scary, living with the constant concern that your significant other works in terribly dangerous situations on a day-to-day basis.
Because it was an Audible deal, I actually listened to this memoir, and honestly did not love the fact that she read her own story. Sometimes, it's a better option to let other, more professional readers, present your novel. However, eventually, I grew accustomed to her narration.
Overall, it was an interesting memoir, and ultimately, a terribly tragic story. What military personnel and their significant others give up for our freedoms is absolutely astonishing, and immeasurably unselfish.
