Title: Partly Truth and Partly Fiction - A Walking Contradiction
Review: This book sets-up the story of Marine boot camp slowly. The author sets up the main character with plenty of back-story, including a romantic interest that feels contrived. The first act, so to speak, is set up well. But the payoff never really comes once the recruit hits Paris Island. Once a big plot twist comes, introducing an unexpected antagonist, the novel becomes episodic, without dramatic tension. The writer does manage to write some compelling scenes, but 3/4 of the episodic stories don't really work.If you want a realistic, colorful account of boot camp on Parris Island, read "Parris Island Daze" by Bob Shirley.
