BookLender review by Raymond on 2010-12-01 15:57:47

Why this book has received such good reviews and awards is mind boggling. This novel of the VietNam era is filled with characters who are drunk, or corrupt, cynical, and in many cases just unbelievable.A sad, sick cast of characters who would have been drummed out of national service.Very disappointing.
