[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 904968, member: 4191"] The book is better than the movie, largely because the movie deviates from the actual events. The firefight in the movie is likely similar to the actual firefight in Afganistan. But other scenes are the creation of the producer. While the movie is "[U]based[/U] on a true story", this move is not story related in Luttrell's book. Still - the movie was pretty good. If I could only experience one or the other, I'd take the book - by far and away. The firefight will keep you on edge from the first shot fired, to the last shot fired. I think I read the book in 36 hours. And I'm not a book reader. Oh yeah..., there were substantially fewer F-bombs in the book, as I recall. Some, but nothing like the repetitiveness in the movie. Reading the book was time well spent. I was in awe of the team spirit, unreal sacrifice, and 'fight - literally - to the very end' character of each of these four Navy Seals. [/QUOTE]
