Black Hawk Down - Blog 1

I think that this is a good book so far. It has some weird humor that makes the book more lively, but it is also very violent such as when they shoot people through the head, but it is not as bad as A Long Way Gone. I thought that the first chapter was really dumb though because the stupid guy got too much ammo and let go of the rope and hurt himself. Then they spent the whole chapter trying to find a medic, and didn't even move to where they were supposed to go. I also thought it was strange when they were talking about Pilla's dead body. I know that he was shot through the head and his face was obliterated, but they referred to his body as 'it' not him. That bothered me a little.
