I loved this just as much as I love the movie. Nice read, perfect adaptation with a little more background. It really made a lot of the characters feel more human and relatable and cleared up something for me about Doc.
I bought this book because we were talking about the Vietnam war in our history class. Despite it is fiction / movie based, I read it to get an idea about what it might have been like out there, in the war. I remember I liked it very much, but since it is a long time ago, I will read it again to review properly.
