So far this book has kept me very entertained. I like it because it is different than any other war novel that i have ever read. I enjoy how it shows more of the personal side of the soldiers and tells little stories that I would never hear otherwise. I would definately recommend this book to others who enjoy war novels in general and are looking for a new interesting type of book.

I think this book is interesting. It gives an idea what the Vietnam war was really like, not just what it looked like to the outside world, the media, or the casual observer. The stories in this book show the war from the soliers’ point of view. You can feel their emotions and thoughts and fears. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Vietnam, war stories, or the like. Anyone could like this book.

This book is very interesting, it is as if a bunch of people put what they remembered of the war into one book. Even though it is written by one person, it is told as though you are in the head of each soilder. I am not sure if i like this book, one it is very well written, and two it is a mix betwine fact and fiction. I love the writting style but the fuzzy line betwine fact and fiction kinda makes me mad. I wish he would just go with one or the other. I would recommend this book to people who want to mix it up a bit. Its not like any book I’ve read and think that people should give it a try.
