I first became interested in this book after hearing Jody defending Nostalgia by MJ Vassanji on Canada Reads 2017. I had recently read Waiting for First Light by Romeo Dallaire, and was interested in stories of modern war. Unflinching definitely provided that story. Jody's story of his advancement through the military structure to sniper, and the struggles within that, and then his struggles after he got injured in Afghanistan.

The book was very easy to read, and had good momentum and provided good detail. I think I expected a bit more of the story than was provided - his recovery and learning to walk in prosthetics was probably more difficult than the book made it seem, but it was still an excellent read.
