Title: Genius or Neurosis?
Review: I found myself wanting to understand more about what the main character thought about the war, about the people in the war, about his relationship with his wife and kids, etc. But he seemed to think nothing at all. Billy was simply be a pawn in someone elses game, always. That's pathetic, depressing, and disturbing. I fault the author and his main character with not taking any responsability for anything. NO, we are not just pawns. We do have some control over our lives and our fates are not pre-known (we do not jump around in time so we have no idea what is going to happen to us in the future). But if you do nothing to take control of your life, you can be sure that others will take control of it for you....
