Just finished the book and was amazed by how all of the many story threads tied in perfectly.  The author gave each character his/her own life and I felt like I knew each one personally.  The battle scenes were so real that I felt like I was living them myself and they gave me an even greater respect for all war veterans.  This is one of the few books that I could pick back up and read again after just having put it down.

Wow.  Quite a harrowing story from the Vietnam war.  So well written. I could not stop reading it. I read it straight through. Maybe that is also because one of the people who died and whose story is told in the book was a classmate of mine.  These guys were sitting ducks.  Mistakes were made which cost their lives.  I felt like I knew all of these heroic men by the way the author depicted them and wrote about them. Thank you for this book.

a beautiful and heart wrenching book. Told with real skill and courage by the author. A great reminder that when a man serves in the military so does his family. This is a must read.

I enjoyed this book.  It is such a sad but true story.  Be prepared to cry.  There was so much revealed that Susan went through.  I did not want to put the book down.  May Susan and those precious babies rest in peace.  I feel sorry for the family and friends they were taken from to soon.

I am at a loss for words at the depth of this story. One of the finest stories I've ever read of true heroism and patriotism. God bless the men and women who serve this country and protect us from those who would wish us harm. I was in tears while reading portions of this book. I'd like to meet and shake this man's hand some day.
Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Every  adult should read this book.  We all need to know what really goes on in the war torn countries that we send our military men and women to.  I can definitely see where this kind of situation  would affect one's mind.  The language is a bit harsh but probably exactly as it is when you are in the situation.  It will bring tears to your eyes as well as make you laugh once in awhile.  Our men and women should never have to go through the ravages of war as stated in this book.

I could not put this book down. I bought the audio so was able to switch back and forth when driving because I just wanted to hear this story. Very touching. I cried and I laughed and I felt like I was experiencing some of Pino's story. So vivid was the descriptions. Thank Pino from me for sharing his war story - the pain, the laughs and the love.  Sorry he and so many had to experience such devastation, so much loss.
Well written!! Superbly told!!!

I am really drawn to this book.  It reveals the day to day life of a child in a war torn area.  A sad reality.
