'No Easy Day' is a much sought out book these days as the writer (former US Navy Seal Member) claims that he participated in the operation that killed enemy number of US on 1/2 May 2011 in Abottabad, Pakistan. This book is the story of US SEAL and in a way its an autobiography of Mark Owen (the former SEAL), written in a bit amateurish style and sometimes even usage of English is pretty ordinary. The first half is a boring read while the second half is a fast track action movie script. It also gives in detail about the various aspects of the operation, specially about the plan/elevation of the 1 acre compound in Abbotabad and various stages of the operation in detail upto minute level. It looks and sounds really strange that the entire operation took less than 4 hours from Jalalabad to Jalalabad, and it took less than an hour to finish the combat operation in Abbotabad. To an Indian this book may not appeal much but to an American this book can soothe many wounds. So depending on allegiance and nationality this book may appeal or repel your attention. To me it was an OK kind of read.
Time-pass Read (5/10)
