Title: Dishonor to War Vets!!
Review: This book was a vehicle for an anti-war message and did a dishonor to war veterans. I knew it was going to have some controversial anit-war messages as soon as I read, "Young men go to war. Sometimes b/c they have to, sometimes b/c they want to. Always b/c they feel they need to. This comes from the sad, layered stories of life, which over the centuries have seen courage confused with picking up arms, and cowardice confused with laying them down." (p. 57)In the book we learn about Eddie's life, the sins he committed and how he spent the rest of his life paying for them. When he died, he learned what a horrible person he was on earth. He felt pain, sadness, and guilt in Heaven. I agree with the reviewer who said the novel should have been called "The Five People You Meet in Purgatory."The novel was a simple story you could read in an afternoon, but it was poorly written and depressing as hell. I don't see any reason to recommend this to anyone especially not our soldiers!
