Surviving Twilight is Awesome Mar 10, 2008
I did not know what to expect when I ordered this book but wanted it just because I know the author personally. It is a very detailed day to day account of what he and his unit had to endure. The journalistic way it is written makes you feel like you are right there with them living through the hell they had to live through.
I am only a couple of months into his life in Iraq and can't wait to pick the book back up to see what happens next. I know that it had to be hard for his parents to hear how close to death he was every day but at least they knew what was going on. It is a lot harder not knowing.
An aquaintance from his childhood.
 Couldn't put it down Dec 28, 2007
I picked this up to read on a month long travel trip. I ended up reading it in one sitting! Consequently, Im very glad I had also purchased a few other titles on the same topic. I really good read, disturbing and terrifying at times with a great deal of insight, but a great read.

A must read! Jan 12, 2007
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
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.

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
