Book review 4

This book is about America’s favorite uncle, Si Robertson. In the beginning of the story Si says that his stories are 99% true threw out the story. The story mostly talks about is Si’s entire life. He talks about when he went hunting with his older brothers Phil, and Tommy. One of the strangest stories that Si told was when he was a kid and got a pet squirrel and his mom kicked it out when he burrowed inside of the new couch they just got.

He then starts to talk about his college life, and how he never wanted to go. Si mostly partied, then going to class and studying. When the college started having testing Si and his roommate decided to get soda and stay up studying. Si even tells that he and his roommate that they got drunk off all the soda that they had. When they started to do there tests, they got through most of them but at the last test Si fell asleep. He woke up and had 10 minutes to finish the test. So he then marked C for all of the answers. A few days later his older sister went to his dorm and was yelling at him, then his brothers Phil, and Tommy came in telling Si that he should have studied more. His sister then said that he had been the best in the class.

Si then decides to drop out of college, but shortly after he was drafted for the army. Si then went to the boot camp then was flown out to Vietnam. When he got off the plane he got some advice from some solders telling him not to go to battle. He and his troop had to stay in a hotel.        Si talks about how the squad got a got a new truck engine in a care package, but when Si and his buddy where on guard duty that night, they heard a noise over at the scrap yard. Si got on his radio and told the sniper tower to shoot a flare at the scrapes. They went over to check to see what that noise was, but they didn’t see anything.

They look at the lake and in the water where two Vietnamese soldiers caring the brand new truck engine threw the lake to their base across the lake. Si and his buddy just stood there watching them carry the engine across the water. Then the story talks about how Si listened to the stories of ether solders. One of the weirdest stories was from a medic. He was telling Si how he was in the jungle with two other solders and they were pinned down. Then one guy got shot and the medic put him up against a tree to patch him up. When he got done he left the guy who got shot against the tree to help the other guy defend them off. There was a screaming and when they looked over, a panther was dragging the guy who got shot. The medic and the other solder had to shoot at the panther to make him drop the solder. There is way more stories in the book, and I highly recommend it if someone wants to read a funny book and is a fan of Duck Dynasty.
