This book was a really easy read and was interesting. It is basically the first work that we're using that is a nonfictional (more or less) presentation of the Vietnam War. To be honest I'm actually kind of unclear about what O'Brien meant in the chapter regarding whether or not he killed a man or not, and whether this book really is fiction or nonfiction. Others, such as the three movies that we watched, were only realistic stories that could've happened. It is just a different feeling to read someone's thoughts about what he remembers about the war.
I enjoyed reading O'Brien's attitudes towards the war. I thought that the way he split each chapter into a different story makes it easy to read the book piece by piece; throughout last week I read a chapter, went to class, and then could quickly pick off where I stopped earlier.
