A review by jonjeffryes
Paco's Story by Larry Heinemann

3.0

The story of a lone survivor of a Vietnam War battalion as he struggles in his return stateside. The book has lots of verve and it’s use of voice is both impressive and times overwhelming. The book is discursive—which is great when you’re into it (I loved the description of Paco’s process for washing dishes.) but also makes the short book feel a little slight of plot.
