I really enjoyed "The things they Carried" and figured I couldn't lose with this book. Boy, was I wrong. O'Brien continues his nostalgia-laden writing style, looking back to the days of (his?) youth. It seems the entire story is about infidelity and mid life crisis. I found myself not caring about the endless parade of characters that I couldn't begin to keep up with.
