Review: Personal letters home
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 08 22, 2013
I gave a five star rating to this book because I found it almost impossible to put down.  There was no great drama, no vivid scenes of fire fights or heroics.. It is letters from a man to his woman, describing his life in Vietnam. He was slightly older than many he served with, and newly married, and you get a clear picture of his sense of isolation and frustration.  I was disappointed that the letters stopped before he came home, I was looking forward to him eventually getting his R&R;, and wanted to be party to his countdown to returning to the USA.People with an interest in other people and their experiences outside the normal day to day will enjoy this book.
