American Sniper
American Sniper Out of the books I read American Sniper is the best one. It’s a book about action and love. It starts off with the young Chris Kyle riding broncos. He decided to go into the army after he saw how bad the nation was becoming. During training he met the love of his life and made a lot of friends. This book is a good read and I recommend it to all readers. Ever since Chris Kyle was a kid he loved being a cowboy. He started riding ponies on the ranch and lassoing fake calves. He grew up to be a statewide bronco rider. Chris would travel every weekend to ride and it took a toll on his body. He broke his arms and legs many times.He was the real American cowboy and liked to live one day at a time. His brother was always by his side …show more content…
He went to training for months and became a Seal. Training was land, air, and sea so he learned to swim well jump out of helicopters and anything else he needed to learn to survive. After the intense buds training he earned his seal diploma. During this time Chris met the love of his life Taya. Chris was a partier in seals training and they hit the bars a lot. One night he met Taya Studebaker at the bar. He bought her drinks and they began to hit it off. After months of talking Chris had to go overseas. They continued to communicate and would spend time together between deployments. Between his second and third deployments Chris and Taya got married. The relationship was hard because of so much distance. They stuck together and had a kid between deployments. They ended up having two boys that just wanted to be like their dad.
On Chris’s fourth deployment it was the most intense one. They were trying to hold a cit for months but whenever they got ahead something would go wrong. His best friends both died in this part of the battle and he wanted revenge for it. In the middle of a sandstorm on patrol Chris kyle made the longest sniper kill of all time. It was almost two miles and it killed the most deadly sniper in the battle. After the shot their position was found and they started being attacked. They got out of the fight and went back to camp. After that Chris got to go home to his family,
