No Easy Day doesn’t hit shelves until September 4, but it’s already pushed aside the Fifty Shades trilogy to claim the top spots on Amazon’s and Barnes & Noble’s bestseller lists. The book, written by a former member of Seal Team 6, is a firsthand account of the 2011 assassination of Osama bin Laden.
Despite the fact that the book is being published under the pseudonym “Mark Owen,” the SEAL team author has been identified as Matt Bissonnette. Bissonnette has stated that he was one of the team members present in the room when bin Laden was killed. In the months after the raid, he retired and began writing the book with journalist Kevin Maurer.
There has been so much hype surrounding the upcoming military memoir, the publisher, Dutton—an imprint of Penguin, had to move up the publication date from the previously announced September 11. They also increased the initial print run from 300,000 to 400,000 now to 575,000.
At this point, it seems that the book has not been read or cleared by the Defense Department. However, a spokesperson for Dutton has stated that the work was vetted by a former special operations attorney. A portion of the proceeds from No Easy Day will be donated to families of SEALs killed in action.
So, SodaHeads: Do you plan to read No Easy Day?

+11Anything is better than that knock-off Twilight porno that was polluting bookshelves and infecting walls with its advertisements.

Fifty Shades of Grey is a fictional attempt to romanticize an abusive BDSM relationship.
It is not only porn, it is badly written and misleading porn.
The last post i made in this thread stated:
the book No Easy Day is intended as nonfiction detailing the military operation that found and killed Osama bin Laden.

So again i can see the sin in the pornography but i do NOT see a sin in the destruction of the terrorist.
I flipped through 50 shades of gray when my friends wife was reading it. Most of it read like an extremely creepy and brutal erotic novel with some very disturbing things. Not sure how that got to the #1 spot, but I wont be sad to see it die in fire.
