The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
4.75
challenging dark emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Wonderfully written, incredibly engaging. Doesn't try to sugarcoat the horror of war, but isn't gratuitously violent either. A beautiful and haunting narrative of the Vietnam War.
