MASH: A Novel about Three Army Doctors by Richard Hooker

3.0

A rather short story about a few men in Korea that played at being insane to stop from going insane. Told in a series of vignettes centered on antics, the reader only captures brief sights of the horror or war and of forced participation, and is also very much stuck in the time it was written when it speaks of women or the native Koreans. The book is better than the movie, but no where near as good as the show.... but it sets up the perfect premise for it, so I've got to give credit where its due to Richard Hooker. Now lets go catch some mermaids.
