Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok - I went into this book expecting to confirm my belief that Taya was a fame whore, looking to capitalize on her husband's death. I'm a huge Chris Kyle fan, read all of his books, and I once dated a SEAL, so I felt that her constant media presence was at odds with her husband's original desire to leave the proceeds of American sniper to his fallen brothers. But I was pleasantly shocked at how much I not only liked this book, but more importantly liked and sympathized with Taya. She takes responsibility for her faults, including her addiction to smoking, her anger with Chris over his deployments. Her heartbreaking realization that Chris may have been unfaithful gutted me, as so many Team wives are the victims of infidelity. Yet she showed forgiveness, and my heart constantly broke for her. I now feel horrible for buying into the media's portrayal of her. Taya is strong, spirited, and real. This is a must read, and has completely change my perception of her.
