Title: Not a good novel
Review: I really wnted to like this book. I enjoyed About Face tremendously, as well as Col. Hackworth's other nonfiction. But this is not a good novel. His writing is poor: "The smell of spilled scotch floated through the room like methane over a garbage dump." Who writes that stuff? No one this side of high school. His best writing is, of course, about the battles. The personalities, especially the women, are horrid. Colonel, stick with the nonfiction.
