Breath Taking, Well Written, and an Emotional Journey

Revisado: 03-22-24

The book centers on a young woman who came from a conservative family. Her brother joined to fight in Vietnam and she followed suit for two tours from 67 to 69. The book is captivating and gives your real insight to the emotional and political e periences of not just the women but also the men. it is very personal and wonderfully written. as a hint, it hand without someone dying.

YOU have the feeling you are physically with each character and watching.

Revisado: 02-22-24

The book is well written and you feel like you are physically with the characters and watching them. it keeps you on edge. Thevon real downside is that if you have notbreads the books in sequential order then the author will insert things that have occurred in prior books to keep you understand the context of what is happening. However, you cannot always skip past this since adds something new or something from the past in a different perspective.

A Poorly Written Book

Revisado: 03-16-23

This is a terrible book. The only reason it gets 2 stars is because it started out alright and went downhill. I was disappointed with the narration but more disappointed with the story. It is slow and is excellent when 8t comes to putting you asleep. I did not read past chapter 12 because it just worth it!!!!!!!

Great Story

Revisado: 12-20-22

I enjoyed this book but my biggest criticism is that the story does not really start until chapter 20. I just wished I knew that before I started that John Grisham put a lot of character developmentand and history of Biloxi in those early chapters before listening. Also, like an historical novel it is mostly done in the third person. However, I found the book interesting and definitely captivating attimes!

A Great Novel with Fiction and Historical Accuracy

Revisado: 11-21-22

The novel uses fictional characters. mostly American, to take you through the period of 1939 to December 1941. It's not about war but how people viewed each other and the POSSIBILITY of a war . A good example of what this book is like is to compare it to the TV show "The Crown." The statements may have or may not have been said but the historical events and struggles were accurately displayed.

Lacks Emotional Depth

Revisado: 10-13-21

The issue is that it is like a narration. excluding some chapters there is a lack of emotional depth. The story is good but the narration was not as good but part of that was due to how it was written.
