I always have great difficulty writing reviews for memoirs due to the fact I don’t quite know how to get my thoughts across about them.
I thought this book was written well, as you are reading you kind of forget about the fact it is a memoir and this author is writing about himself. It always reads like a fiction story at points. I found I was having to remind myself that is a true account.
I thought that the feelings and the situations the soldiers went through were extremely well told and I think this book is a good story to come out of the Vietnam war.
The one thing that I did find in this book was that it went over a few things repetitively over the space of a few paragraphs.
I have another book written by Tim on my shelf that I will be getting to fairly soon, as I enjoyed his writing.
