I loved the book. Friends went to Vietnam and died there. I have always felt that my mind would not have survived Vietnam, and after reading this book, I know it wouldn't have survived. I so admire Tim O'Brien's writing and the courage it took to share himself so clearly. I …more am in awe of the boys and young men who went, and I want to hold each of them. I am so thankful that I read this book. (less)
