The Things They Carried

Rating:
Summary: My review
Review: I thought that the book was written really good and some of the things that happens to the soldiers make you look at the war in a different way. I liked how the book showed the good and the bad times of the war. The only bad thing about the book is that it is boring and hard to get into.

Review: i am 16 years old a yunior in high school.
i really don't like to read, and I don't like homework either but in my english class we just finished reading "the things they carried".Our teatcher,would read to us every day and would not ever make us read on our own,(well maybe sometimes)but not that often.She would expect us not to fall a sleep and would yell at all those who did.We are done with the book and i don't even know what the heck the book is about.....
i think I am going to get the book, and read it on my own time.
the only reason I am wrighting this review is because our teatcher made us.
When i am done reading the book,and fully understand it i will come back here and write a better review, till then thatnx for reading my review as it is.

Summary: My Opinon on the Things They Carried
Review: I thing this book was very informative. i really told you how the soldiers felt. what it was truly like to be 18 and having the Vietnam Conflect going on. I often imagined my father and how he felt during this time. he was only 18 or 19 when he went to Nam.

Summary: The things the carried
Review: I thought that the book The things they carred was worth 2 stars because it was written well, and got the point across that I believe the author intended. I didn't however enjoy the topic of the book. Since there was not always something that would make you want to keep reading the book, the book would become boring. I didn't enjoy reading the bad things that happened in the war. I do know it is important though to know what has gone on in our history, and they author informed me of that. I believe even though the book was based on a war story, it would have been a lot easier to follow if they did not have so many main characters. I like it when I can read a book and get attached to the characters so that I want to know what happens to them. This book did not allow you to get attached to all of the characters since there was so many. I did though get to know a few characters and when I read about their stories, the book became interesting.

Review: I thought this book can really pack a punch, especially with those who have little to no knowledge of the vietnam war. This book gives you a very good idea of the soldiers life in the war, such as his envoirment, his situations, his struggles, and yes of course what they carried. I do recommend this book to anybody with interest in the viet nam era.

Summary: The Things They Carried
Review: The Things They Carried was probably the best written story to go along with the Vietnam War, and how the young soliders felt.
Tim O'Brien being in the war himself probably help for him to understand what goes through a 19 or 20 year olds mind when they are put in a predicament like that of which they were in. Then Tim went a step further and put it all down on paper and wrote to me what is a great book that I would recommend to others.

Review: This book gives the reader a good perception on how the war was , not based on facts and statistics like textbooks.

Summary: [no subject]
Review: I think that this was a very good book and shows a wonderful depiction of the war. It seems to show us the side that we never get to hear about. rather then just facts it takes us deeper into people's lives and shows us the sacrifice that was actually made by our soldiers.
