Negative Positive
Title: Jarhead
Review: I read this book on a recommendation of "Christine", the cheating girlfriend that Tony refers to in this book. I have also met the post war Tony on a few occasions as I was "Christine's" roomate for several years. I was disappointed that such a talented writer would sell out on his first book. He hated the Marines which is evident in the book and never mentioned it after he was out of the corp. But it was good timing, with another war starting, to write this one. Just the easy road to a quick half a million $$. The more lies I read in the book the angrier I became. It was entertaining to read how a man justifies his numerous cheating escaped by saying his girlfriend was doing it too. Which she wasn't, at least not with who he thought. But I guess, this again was a good way to sell books, with sex. I did learn a lot about war and the Military from the book. I just can't determine which is fact and which is fiction.
Is the review positive or negative?
