Generation Kill?

Hey, did any of you doods read that book? It's about recon marines in OIF. I thought that it was pretty good, but I've heard rumors of it being wildly inaccurate (like Jarhead). What do you guys think?

[DUCKIE]

I have read the book.I thought it was a good read.I have heard that the author took some poetic license with the book.

[Kinger]

I read it, thought it was great.

I thought it was a great read. I had not heard that parts were fabricated. If they were, it was done a lot more slighly than Jarhead.

[ShotOver]

Yeah, I have read it. Pretty hardcore book, I enjoyed it.
Finished Jarhead today, didnt like it, the author is a bit of a ****head.

Im in the middle of it, i like it so far, good read. Im going to read 'One bullet away" which is written by the platoon leader of the platoon in Generation Kill (Nathaniel Fick), which should make for an interesting comparison.

I gotta keep my eye out for that book then, I would like to see how the different authors account for the same bit of action. To hear about it through the eyes of the reporter and through the eyes of the Combat Marine.

[Rebel Yell]
