Title: Love My Ego More Than You.
Review: Awful. As a female vet of Operation: Iraqi Freedom, I'm saddened to hear a voice like Williams' being heralded as the one to reify the collective military women's experience of Iraq. Snotty and snobbish, her prose is dull and stilted, and the experiences she describes are pretty ordinary, even outside a combat zone. If you believe you've a war story worth publishing, it seems like you should have a little "trigger time" to back it up. Williams' has none; all of her stories regard being a white blonde, having boobs, how dirty dust can make you, and throwing rocks at one another to pass time. She never lost a friend to gunfire, was never injured, and saw only one violent episode: a man who'd stumbled into a clearly marked minefield. This is a combat memoir? Hardly. These are the crude complaints of a person with a bone to pick with the Army and America for being ordinary while she thinks she's too special for either.
Is the review positive or negative?
