5.0 out of 5 starsa very engaging book about a true hero
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019
Funny thing: at first I did not like this book, finding Aaron Brown's drug addiction not that appealing. But I kept reading and after 50 pages could not put it down. Here is a man who battled his own demons for years, but yet managed to train himself to become a Navy SEAL which only around .01 percent of males could do. And yet he did it despite overcoming all manner of serious injuries: broken arms, legs, fingers, even losing an eye (an eye!) in a training accident and yet he managed to become a sniper despite these severe handicaps. And as anyone who has read either Chris Kyle or Brandon Webb, there is no more challenging calling in our armed forces that becoming a Navy SEAL sniper requiring not only unreal physical and mental stamina but also tremendous intellectual capacity as well. And Aaron Brown was one of those rare men-who also wore BatMan underwear into battle! How cool is that? He was also a devoted father to his children and a great husband to his wife, who is also one of the heroines of our time

He died doing what he most loved-saving his brother soldiers-and America is the luckier for having troopers such as Aaron Brown in their midst. Get this book and read it!

2.0 out of 5 starsAdam is a hero, the author not so much
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2022
I enjoyed the story of Adam, and learning how much he overcame was incredible. However the book was written very poorly, it is dry and flavorless. They talk about how great Adam was but the stories of him are written in a way that are just not interesting to read about. Plus the constant need to talk about the family’s relationship with god felt like they were trying to convert me to their religion.

I REALLY liked American Sniper, and for some reason expected this book to be writing in a captivating interesting way like that one was, however I was disappointed. 5 stars for Adam himself and 0 stars to the actual book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book about a Great Hero
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019

This book is inspiring and really made me feel proud to be an American, and a U.S. Navy Sailor.

Adam’s story of triumph and patriotism is unmatched. I am so thankful that we have men and women that answer the call to protect our country. And few are as special as Adam Brown.

Considering Adam’s family, especially his wife and children, I want to say that they serve as well. I have spent a lot of time away from my wife and kids as a result of my service. Although, I’m never in harms way like a SEAL. But it’s easy to forget those who are left at home. This book helped show the importance of the family that a service member leaves at home. That was, surprisingly, one of my favorite things about this book - that it highlights the struggles of a mother and her children while daddy is away fighting for their freedom. It’s beautiful and tragic at the same time.

Adam’s faith renewed my own. I have been a Christian for many years, but my duties as a Sailor have consumed so much of me that I get off track. This book helped show me that a man can serve both the country and the Lord.

Today, I will kiss my wife a little longer. I will hug my kids a little tighter. And I will pray a little deeper. All because of one man who showed me, in his sacrifice, that I can play my role for America and be a family man that loves Jesus, at the same time.

Great book. Great man. I highly recommend anyone who loves America to read this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Story
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020

Just finished reading Fearless. One of the best books I've ever read and I've read a lot over the years, including Eric's book about Green Berets in Afghanistan, and another about a Green Beret in Viet Nam.

A wonderful tribute to a great man and his family, to a great love story, and to the awesome men he served with.

It left me feeling pretty unaccomplished compared with everything he did. And I was a Green Beret in VN and have lived a full life.

Thank you, Eric, for telling Adam Brown's story. And thanks to his wife, family, and team mates for their openness in making the story complete.

And thank you for not leaving God out.

I stand in awe!

5.0 out of 5 stars GOD'S AMAZING GRACE EMBRACED & ACCEPTED BY ADAM BROWN
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2018
Verified Purchase
Adam's life parallels that of all people on this earth. Life is tough for everyone. But we can all become fearless when facing any challenges even those leading to death by grabbing hold of the life preserver He always has ready for us. It has the name GRACE stenciled on it, and will help you float above this world. You will then, like ADAM BROWN, be in this world but not of this world . But only Jesus Christ was knows the way because his Father is GOD who alone has the map through the minefields of this life. I am 74 and know how quickly life on earth passes and I know I will be with my loved ones in the "Blink of an eye."

Never Give Up
A person should never give up, no matter what the circumstances. Fearless by Eric Blehm is a true story about a man named Adam Brown who never gave up. Reading this book has inspired me to always give my best. Adam’s family motto in the book is, “You gotta do what you gotta do, and when you’re done, you’ll be stronger” (12).
Fearless starts out with a young man named Adam who lives in Arkansas. He was always small, but he never let that stop him from doing something no matter what it was. He found some things that messed up his life, but he would soon find that they actually help his journey through life. He joined the Navy and became a Seal overcoming all odds. He had done more than proven himself worthy. Adam ended up paying the ultimate sacrifice fighting for his country.
Personally, I liked the writing story of Eric Blehm and the detail he brought into the book by giving information about Adam’s daily life and where he grew up and lived later in life. Eric put some very small details in the book, but not so much that they made the story boring. I was always wondering what would happen next and it really grabbed my attention throughout the book. His choice of words and sentence structure flowed really well and the book never once got boring to me. I would definitely read another book from Eric Blehm.
This novel exceeded my expectations and really captured my attention. It is easy to tell that Eric Blehm put in a lot of research and time in this novel. Everything he put in the book actually happened to Adam Brown during his life and even after. The information never had repetition throughout the book. The novel was clean and well written throughout the whole thing.
Eric Blehm’s tone changed throughout the book because there are very different scenarios and stages in Adam Brown’s life. His tone would either be exciting or calm. It would be exciting when Adam was in battle and calm when he was home with his family. The author’s tone helped my reading experience by keeping my attention on the story the whole time. It never got in a rut of the same kind of tone. I believe that most males would find this book appealing and that most people serving in the military would as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
I’m not a reader, so I was reluctant when my wife bought me this to read while we were at the pool on our little getaway. Being a veteran, I have a soft spot for veterans anyway, so I figured it give it a few chapters. After the first 2 chapters, I couldn’t put it down. It was an awesome story about one of this nation’s finest. I’ll be honest, the last 2 chapters were hard for me to read. I say it down and walked away once. I had to take a short break. I love our troops and all of the sacrifices that they make for us. I told my wife, it’s Adam Brown and the people like him who make it so hard for me when people burn our flag or kneel during the anthem. These guys give so much for us to enjoy the freedoms that we all take for granted. Ronald Reagan said it best when he said that freedom is never Moore than one generation away from extinction. It’s something that has to be fought for and paid for daily. Most of us don’t see it and don’t want to see it, but guys like Adam Brown make it possible. So I guess I would say that I HIGHLY recommend this book. I wish everyone would read it.

Adam Brown, a kid from Arkansas will capture your heart. When he grows into a man and is besieged by addiction, your heart will break.

A testimony to faith, redemption and the power of love to overcome addiction, uncertainty, and physical pain. Reading the letter Adam wrote to his children is poignant and had me in tears . Even now, writing this review my eyes well up.

If you think you've got problems, I promise you don't. Not after reading Fearless. This book is told from carefully culled recollections of Adam Brown that include parents, wife, fellow SEALS, friends, his twin sister and his older brother. Even his young son and daughter's remembrance of their dad are woven into Fearless, which only adds to the dimension a man who wasn't beyond falling off a pedestal.

What makes Adam different beyond his ability to withstand trauma, pain, humility was his drive to take his weakness, a human frailty and recommit himself. Whether it was to his wife, his family, the Navy, or his faith, in giving his all, he has given the world a dichotomy in which to understand a hero isn't a saint. A hero is the person who is unstoppable in their quest to do the right thing.

Fearless: A remarkable journey, a soul shaking love story between Kelley and Adam, and Adam and his tribe. A book that will shake the reader into asking the question, what have I done to help the world. And ultimately, isn't that definition of hero, the person who inspires others to do good?

Excellent book! The story of Fearless is a study of the incredible drive, strength, fortitude and fearlessness of Adam Brown. In writing this review I will try not to give away any details of the book . Fearless traces the life of Adam Brown from childhood to the brotherhood of the US Navy Seals. And not just the Navy Seals, Adam strived to be the best of the best, a Seal Team 6 operator. Seal Team 6 operators are the elite of the elite. You take the top 1% of the US Navy and you have the Navy Seals. Seal Team 6 consists of the top 1% of the top 1%. As you read the book, for Adam Brown to achieve this status with the difficulties he faced was just incredulous. Adam Brown never heard the word no. He refused to accept a no. In the navy everytime he heard the word no he just worked harder. Adam never said the word no. Everytime there was a daring feat to try or a dangerous mission to take on, Adam was the first one to volunteer. And as the book will tell, the consequences range from hilarity to injury. Author Eric Blehm does a fantastic job in the telling the life story of Adam Brown. He vividly describes the life, love, respect and feelings Adam was afforded and gave. I can not say enough about this book. Great story, great narrator. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different Kind Of SEAL Book
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2021

This book is absolutely gut wrenching. Adam made an impact on so many people even with his demons knocking down his defenses. This isn't your typical SEAL story as it spends so much time on his life before the Navy, and how he rose to popularity only to have Satan drag him down, time and time again. People like Adam are why we stand for the anthem and respect the flag, and why we should tell every service member "thank you" for fighting for freedom of not only Americans but for those in other places that cannot fight for their freedom, a freedom given to us by God and God only.

An absolutely inspirational, impossible to put down, perfectly descriptive story of an Fearless American Warrior! From his roots, what he overcame, to joining the Worlds most elite military team, US Navy SEALs, to then rise to the top of that very elite organization. This book captured Adam Brown exactly as it intended and as he had wanted. His dedication, heroic actions and pure desire to succeed while remaining the best husband and dad ever, brought me to a whole new level of respect for our countries warriors. I am, have always been and will remain forever grateful! ❤️
