Query: Terrible writing. Don't bother with this one

I think this book is a waste of good paper and ink. I find it nearly impossible to read and even more impossible to believe it recieved enough good reviews for a 4 1/2 star average. There is no storyline,no characters to identify with or get to like or dislike. The descriptions are so overdramatized that they lose their credibility and become so unrealistic that it's laughable. The era specific terminology is just thrown at you with no way for the average reader to understand. It's really just a bunch of unrelated bits of narrative that aren't even interesting. I got to pg 46 and gave up. Don't waste your $$ on this book. Try CLOSE QUARTERS for an excellent A+++ read on the Vietnam war.
