Book Review of The Things They Carried

The Things They Carried
lovescoffee avatar reviewed on + 50 more book reviews


A book of short stories which combine to create a panoramic view of a hell many of us couldn't imagine. It gave me greater insight into the experiences of Vietnam vets and their aftermath. Left me wondering how anyone could cope with these memories. If these particular stories aren't all true for this author, they were true for someone.
