The Right Kind of Crazy: My Life as a Navy SEAL, Covert Operative, and Boy Scout from Hell

The book is heavily redacted - why release a book that is so difficult to read as most of the content has been redacted. As mentioned previously, other authors who have done more have less content redacted that this book. Doesn't mention anything about his time in DEVGRU. Other books such as No Easy Day and The Operator are a far better and more interesting read with no redaction. He also writes about Mark Owen (The author of No Easy Day) which there seems to be some bitterness towards him, maybe a hint of jealousy. The book also has drawings in it which I thought was short changing the reader. Most books the author will put in proper photos of the things he's writing about...If I wanted drawings, I would have bought a comic!...

Not the best book of its genre. So heavily redacted you don't actually learn anything. Had to force myself to finish it. Shame.

I liked the book, even if there were some passages that were less interesting for me, but that doesn't make it less good. It's even more interesting given that the author, Clint Emerson, still works in security, write books, makes videos, and a lot more, so that makes him a reliable source of information.

If you’re looking for the quintessential SEAL autobiography, this isn’t for you. 20 years in special forces has taken its toll and Clint’s writing is often cynical and exasperated but also funny and self deprecating. He’s brutally honest about his failings and owns responsibility for them. He’s certainly no angel but, if he was, would we really want to read the book?Sure there’s a lot of masturbation, hazing, sex and weird stories. If that offends you or you’re still tied to mummy’s apron strings, move right along. I think those that enjoy the book probably share the same kind of perverted thoughts as Clint. I mean, who doesn’t picture people naked at some point in their lives?The book doesn’t give away spy secrets or go into depth about SEAL operations. However, it gives an in depth look at Clint’s childhood and the behaviours and experiences that shaped him into who he is today. I think he’s walked a fine line in his deeds and was sensible to be good at being bad on the right side of the law!I read this over several months. It’s easy to pick up and put down. I’ve re-read several parts and taken what I needed from them. The redacted commentary by Clint was some of the funniest bits. Definitely somebody you could imagine sitting around a fire with and being both horrified and enthralled by his stories.

A small look into the life of a navy seal. Very interesting read with Clint's twisted sense of humour thrown in - a great read
