CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

A wishlist book. Enjoy!

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it. Then, when you are ready, pass it along for someone else to enjoy! Thanks and happy reading!

Journal Entry 4 by Firegirl at Annandale, Virginia USA on Monday, August 29, 2016
This is the second book of O'Brien's that I have read and I think it's just brilliant. He really gives a personal view of Vietnam -- the people, the realities, the the impact. The day-to-day stuff and the big, impactful moments are all included. He is a compelling, talented writer. It is so very clear that the War changed him; one cannot help but wonder what he would have been like had he not been drafted. I am not one for war stories. It isn't my preferred topic by any means. This goes pretty high up on my recommended books list, though, due to the strength of the writing.

Thanks so much for sharing. Of my two copies, one will be sent to a writer friend and the other I will wild release.
