Negative Positive
Title: Female and foul-mouthed in the Army.
Review: I enjoyed this book more for my parallel experience of being a female soldier and linguist than for any real literary merit. Williams has a very jaded, negative view of the Army. For someone who was supposedly "so educated", her constant foul language was off-putting. Was she unable to find better words to express herself? What annoyed me most was the narcissistic tone of the whole book. The Army is about "us" and "we", the squad/platoon/company/etc, not "I" and "me", the individual.Having seen the comment that someone wished they could have read what she did during those 12-hour shifts, I must add that she had to submit the manuscript for classification review (for security purposes) before being allowed to send it to the publisher.
Is the review positive or negative?
