    Default "13 Hours" revisited

    I read the book shortly after it came out, thought it was an incredible story and major cluster. Picked up the blu ray a couple days ago. Watched it last night and the book came flooding back-probably the most faithful translation of a book to a film I've ever come across. Powerful.

    It is a good read.

    The book and movie followed each other pretty close.

    I saw the movie the other day. Pretty intense and frustrating. I really disliked the compound boss, complete douche.

    Finally ponied up and bought the book. Read up to start of attack and free time disappeared for couple days, looking forward to getting back to it. I think Mitchell Zuckoff did a good job writing this. Alot more to it than some research and telling the story.

    Will see movie at some random time in the future. Not usually a fan of result of Hollywood adaptations of books. Prefer my own imagination and special effects.

    I'm trying to decide if I want to rent the movie or just buy it.

    I don't have time for reading any more.

    It's a measure of the civility in this country that no ones seems to fear constantly pissing off the people who own lots of guns.
