4.0

 Not a ton of plot, but the writing style is so endearing in a well-meaning, salt-of-the-earth, blue-collar way that it was largely a really enjoyable read. Had to power through a good bit when our narrator was actively in Iraq because it used a lot of war jargon that I didn't understand but it picked right back up once he left. I have so much appreciation for the context that this book was written in, its a fascinating story.
