Excellent - By: L. BETTLES, 05 Oct 2008 
I had watched the DVD of the series prior to reading this book. However this did not detract at all from my enjoyment of it,in fact it enhanced it. Chris Terrill does a great job of describing the characters & the situations they face. Furthermore you can sense his genuine passion of the RM Commandos, & as for his efforts on completing the commando selection tests...I amin awe.
Commando - By: P. SMITH, 05 Aug 2008 For me, someone who is actively pursuing a careerin the marines, this book is a fantastic read. It shows many positive aspects of Corps life but also reminds the reader of the harsh realities which come about whenin active service for the marines or perhaps any armed service. Very easy to follow, gripping from start to finish & quite movingin parts, i would recommend it to anyone with an active interestin the forces & any aspiring Royal Marines Commando.
Excellent - By: Dan, 07 May 2008 This is Chris's personnel journey throughout the trials & tribulations of making the series. It tells usin detail the hardships endured by any Marine recruit, & especially those endured by Terrill.
This is an excellent accompaniment to the TV Series.
Great book best on the market - By: Henry Dm Dixon, 16 Jan 2008 I picked up this book after seeing a few of the tv series episodes. I could hardly put the book downand read itin a matter of days. it is probably the best book of it genre on sale at the moment. For a young adult aspiring to be a Royal Marine it was further proff of why i have wanted to join from a child. An amazing insight into the lives & roles of royal marines & what to expect if you were to join.
commando - By: anon, 06 Jan 2008 I recently read this book after watching the tv series, which I loved. As someone who isin the process of joining the Royal Marines this book was a great help as it highlights the standard of fitness required & proves that the training team at Lympstone really do want all recruits to pass the course despite appearing overly harsh-a useful point to remember when sufferingin training. The book describes the 32 week commando coursein detail & provides a very helpful insight into training especially advising you that Lympstone is just a short, unpleasant ordeal that has to be completed, leading on to a desirable careerin the Royal Marines.
