What an interesting story. I originally picked it up because
of the connection to Vietnam, and the excerpt that spoke of how Michael’s views
changed on the war once he came home and started to be active in the Honor Guard
for fallen Soldiers. My grandfather was very tightlipped about his time in Vietnam and
immediately after his return, so I was really interested. Knowing this book is
a fictional story, it was still able to shed some light on the conflicting
emotions our soldiers must have had in these tumultuous times.
The second half of the story, when Michael gets involved
with his Brothers “scheme” of revenge, was interesting as well, drawing heavily
on Mafia references and quid pro quo life mentalities. I thought that this book
was very interesting and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The writing style is
neat, with no major editing flaws and the author really brings out the emotions
that Michael is conflicted with throughout his story.
