i did not get all the way through this book but the reason is because the show is absoultely great and the book (audio book) is a bit groosom. but i would still recoment this serries on tv

Ok this was a very good book , which i did enjoy very much.. My husband is in the Army, however we are stationed at Fort Eustis Virginia..It was very sad reading about the murders, but it was also interesting to see how other wives live on a different base then myself.

In some reviews ive read they said there was a difference in the books point of view being more toward Officers wives then us "other" wives.. I didn't see that much myself tho..

As for me I LOVE the Lifetime Show Armywives EVEN THO it is so FAKE and nothing like real Army life... I do not know about anyone else but myself, for me personally i dont know of any Code or how an Army Wife should or should not be.. So im sure im breaking a millions rules, but as much as i love the book and the show .. I hate being an Army Wife and I ate the Army... I was hoping this book would be more of a REAL viewpoint on Army life... Like the pay sucks , your husband is always gone, he will be injured and the army wont fix it, housing is worse then section 8 and oh by the way you will have a ton of jerk off sgts who will butt in on your person life....

This book is recently published under the name of Army Wives. It is an awesome book. One I couldnt put down til I was finished but to sleep. A great read for the new army wife or for someone seeking to understand.

I was hesitant to read this book, as I was not NUTS about the TV show when it first came out last year. However, it was a gift, and I thought I'd give it a look. I became interested in the characters, and their situations. It DID revolve around the horrible murders that took place there in 2002... That is a rather depressing topic, but it was sort of an explanation, if you will of circumstances and mind sets that MAY have lead to the murders.

I do NOT think the author is Anti- Military AT ALL, contrary to the negative reviews.

I do feel that the book was written more from an Officer's wives' standpoint on certain things, and she seemed to be more empathetic towards/with them. Generally speaking, there is quite a range of social, and economic differences between enlisted families and officer's families. GENRALLY- NOT ALWAYS. She DID seem to highlight these in her own way.

However... I could identify with different characters at different times in the book..

Interesting read because we have been stationed at Ft. Bragg in the late 90's and 2000. I knew all the places she mentioned, and several of the people mentioned in the book.

this was a great book i couldnt put it down. As a Army wife it had me in tears.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Ms. Biank does a great job of describing what it is like to be an Army wife. I read it in two days!!

Excellent portrayal of army life. Very good reading, I couldn't put it down. It really goes to show what army life is really about from a side you don't hear about.
