This book was maybe written for boys, but that doesn't matter.
This book was "way cool!" It is the journal of an
18 year old boy who joined the Marines in the Vietnam War. It
follows him thru his "adventures," hard and good times.
It begins while he is still at home. However, he cusses, which
for me takes glamour out. So, I would not recommend it to anyone.
What made it so amazingly unique was how well he expresses his
feelings. You could relate yourself to, "I've known that
feeling before!" Three fourths of the book I enjoyed because
he's just so REAL!! And he is so hilarious, and so cool! Still,
for all that, I would only rate this book 3 out of 5. It could
be a wonderful book if they take out cussing.
