Read what others have to say about this book: Apr 11, 2006
By Shane A. Bernskoetter
The following are quotes from individuals that have read my book and contacted me directly to provide their feedback:
You spent hundreds of hours writing what is one of the most compelling testimonies to the service of true heroes that I have read... I've got to tell you this is riveting stuff! - Dr. Randy Tobler, Host of the nationally syndicated Randy Tobler radio show, 97.1 FM Talk Saint Louis: Fox News radio affiliate
I was unable to put it down when I started reading it! - Gary Tuttle, Father of my platoon sergeant Master Sergeant Mike Tuttle
Shane, Just read several chapters of your book and it is fantastic. - Joseph Farah, CEO of WorldNetDaily.com
By reading your book it has helped me to understand the trauma my son faced on a daily basis and I can only say thank you for sharing your innermost fears and daily life while deployed. - Terri Jones, Mother of deceased soldier Specialist Jason Cooper
I read your excerpt. It is wonderful! You have a very captivating way of describing everything. - Dorothy Howard, 245th Maintenance Co. Family Readiness Group Leader
Your story is very compelling. It's a page-turner in the sense that I want to know what's going to happen to you, Sergeant Love and the rest of your Company from day to day. - Russell Korando, Columnist for the Suburban Journals Newspaper
I love this book. I absolutely love this book because it is a passport to being over there. It is like walking through the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. It's like walking in and being on the other side and all of the sudden you are there after reading this book. We are experiencing what you are experiencing through your eyes. You do a great job writing this because you bring the reader right in and you don't talk down to the reader. There are only a few things that can do what your book has done to me. I'm telling you right now, this book totally immersed me. It literally takes you to another place. - Crane Durham, Host of the Nothing But Truth radio show, 97.1 FM Talk Saint Louis: Fox News radio affiliate
Your book definitely gave me a feel for what our troops are facing in Iraq. The humor and the pain of your situation while you were there were really clear. You were a hit at my book club meeting! - Sharon Clouse, local book club organizer
Shane: Thanks for the book; I've read lots of it and it's eye-opening. Congratulations! - Tim Hickey, Editor of the Knights of Columbus national magazine, Columbia
I just finished reading your book today. I wanted to drop you a line letting you know how important it was for me and how much it meant. It was serious therapy to read it. I laughed out loud and I cried out loud. You did such a nice job. A lot of my family members and coworkers bought their own copy because they want to read it right away too. You did a fabulous job. - Specialist Erica Loehr, fellow 245th unit member

Bernie May 19, 2006
By Jessyca P. Johnson
We were stationed together in hell known as Camp Seitz, Iraq for a whole freaking year. I can't believe you were able to put your thoughts of what happen in words and never the less on paper. I give you major props, and you are still my battle buddy Bernie. Always keep Sgt Melvin Mora in your thoughts and forever in your heart. I will always love you and I got Your book Keep it rolling Baby. Spc Johnson, Jessyca P. 245th Maintenance Co "ALWAYS FIRST". OIF II

You feel like you are there with him in Iraq . . . . Apr 18, 2006
By Donna M. Bernskoetter
THe author of Surviving Twilight is exceptionally good at making one feel as if you are there in Baghdad. His writing style is full of descriptive adjectives that make you accurately picture life in a war-zone. THe emotions include happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, humor, loneliness, fear and sarcasm. THe book is in diary form; each day is a different experience, depending upon what events transpired that day. It is a true story of a soldier's experience in a war-torn country. Awesome book. Hard to put down! THis author speaks from his heart!

A must read! Jan 12, 2007
By Renee E. Taylor
I ordered "Surviving Twilight" after reading that it was about a soldier stationed at Camp Victory, etc, during 2004. My husband, Mark, was a civilian trucker hauling mail with military escorts, the 1544th Transportation Company, Illinois National Guard, the same time Shane was there.
Shane's book is a heartfelt, honest, well-written account of the life of a soldier in Iraq. I remembered many of the instances Shane wrote about - my husband was in the May 23 convoy attack - and it was interesting to read Shane's thoughts.
I highly recommend "Surviving Twilight".

Entertaining twist to experience of war. Aug 17, 2006
By R. Berneman
"Raquel in Iowa"
Not to say that it was a trip to the Circus, but he keeps it on the light side and never loses his sense of humor, even during mortar attacks. Shares with you the sadness of losing another soldier, you can feel it. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. Well worth the read. Had friends and an Ex, in theater, good to really know what life was like. Glad they too returned safely.
