Maybe I'm wrong, but I've read this book twice now and Don Malarkey gives off a degree of bitterness throughout the novel. In his book you will find more negativity about the rest of Easy Company than other members biographies (yes, I have read them), the subject matter chosen by Stephen Ambrose (namely his issues with Ambrose focusing on David Webster), and the exploits of the company after he was shipped to the hospital with illness (he was not there to witness the concentration camp and was not there when they took the Eagles Nest). Read this book if you have already read Compton's book, Winter's (several) book(s), and the book by Guarnere and Heffron. This is not the book you should read first.
Overall: The impression I got from this was exactly "well, what about me?" It became clear that when literary work of Band of Brothers came out that he was not happy about the small focus on him, and that became worse when the miniseries came out.
