In my college english class, this was a required reading. When I first read it, I was confused about the style in which it was written. Then, I read it again and I cried. I felt as if I were there with the guys, "humping" not only their physical weight, but their emotional weight as well. It is a wonderfully written book and should definately be required reading in ALL english classes. Tim O'Brien shines a light on a dark time in our nations history. Thank you Mr. O'Brien for not only your writing, but most importantly, for your serving. I as are my children are forever in your debt. Thank you to all of our brave men and women who proundly serve and keep us safe.
