Summary of this Book... | ||
A powerful piece based on the lives of soldiers in the Vietnam War. As the title says, it is about what the soldiers carried to war (weapons, supplies, clothes, hope) and what they carried away from it (friends, compassion, pain, confusion). | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The emotion and expression that was shown through the stories. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Sad at the shame the Vietnam soldiers had to carry when the country dishonored their return. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
Tim O'Brien, an amazing story teller who puts such passion and feeling into his words. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
If you can get past the harsh language, the violence and disturbing images, you can find a deep sorrow that exists in war that not many care to speak of. It truly will make you look at war and conflicts differently. | ||
