Review: Author is skilled in spinning a tale

First off the author did a very good job of spinning a tale set in Vietnam, but it is a bit out there as a story and while we all know strange stuff happened in country, this one is a bit out there for me.  I respect all who served and sacrificed.  I know several personally who returned damaged and this book does not do their service any honors. While some in real life may have been similar to some of the characters, it is not typical.Note: there is another Year of the Monkey titled book about the War in Vietnam by Ronald E. Hays which is a true story and when I downloaded this title, I thought I had picked the non-fiction book and not this fiction one.
