Title: Wordy, Wordy, Wordy.....
Review: I started the book several months ago and stopped reading it because I didn't like the style of writing. I started it again last month and struggled to finish it. Herr's writing style is awful. He talks and talks and talks without really saying anything. He may described, for example, a soldier's fear in the jungle. However, Herr gets so chatty with his word imagery that one cannot really follow what he is trying to describe. His style of writing reminds me of Dennis Hopper's character in Apocalypse Now - constant chatter without really saying anything and not understanding what he just said! I would not waste my time again on this book. I was expecting something akin to Caputo's "A Rumor of War". Now, THAT book was good. I recommend skipping Herr's "Dispatches".
