Negative Positive
Title: Interesting but depressing
Review: I served in the Corps at the same time as Mr Swofford, so many of the places and some of the names are familiar. Also familir are some of the feelings, and he does a good job at articulating them. While my tour in the USMC (and life in general, apparently) was not nearly as depressingly hellish as his was, it struck a bone or two. I caught myself feeling rather torn while reading this book - on one hand a little angry at him for painting such a broadly negative picture, on the other, proud of him for having the stones to air it out.Over all, good book.
Is the review positive or negative?
