Title: Didn't this novel come out before 1985?...
Product review: I recall reading it in a house that I once owned before 1985, if I recall right. I was at An Hoa with the Marines (2/5) in Dec 67, so this story caught my attention. Roth's description of chow lines at An Hoa with the kerosene-fire water heaters brought back memories. I may read this novel again sometime soon. Hard for me to give the book a grade thirty years after reading. C plus or so, I'd say. Note: I'm not a big fiction guy. I also don't care much for most non-fiction book written by Vietnam vets as their scope on the war seems limited, and there understanding of the people, culture, and enemy during the war in VN largely absent in their writings.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
