It really does bring the horrifying realities to war to light. It's been nice reading along with everyone, and their answers to the questions.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548374470375135651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-74074829097430930382010-07-29T12:29:56.344-05:002010-07-29T12:29:56.344-05:00From the other reviews I've read..of those als...From the other reviews I've read..of those also participating in this read-a-long, it seems we all felt the same way..the horrific scenes were necessary to make this story really hit home.

It's one of the best novels of the Vietnam War, in my opinion. I was worried people would be put off by the graphic scenes and images, but they really do drive home the point that war is an ugly thing.Annahttp://diaryofaneccentric.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-78223552655738299902010-07-27T18:06:28.460-05:002010-07-27T18:06:28.460-05:00I'm so glad that you enjoyed this novel.

I cannot wait to see what everyone says about the book and what their answers are to the final questions.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.com
