Book Review of You Know When the Men are Gone

You Know When the Men are Gone
SGTBob avatar reviewed on + 156 more book reviews


A very entertaining read. Ms Fallon has written multiple stories about living life on a military base.
Although the stories are fiction, they do represent life on a military installation (in a matter of speaking). She has also managed to weave the characters from one or more stories into other stories, while maintaining the perspective of the story you are reading.
Her writing is based, somewhat, on her experiences of living on a military installation while her husband was deployed to Iraq.
I loved the manner in which she writes and I enjoyed all of the stories (minus one with a very weird storyline).
Well worth the time it takes to read.
