Tyler's discussion of the mental health issues of our veterans is an important one. The book discusses the variety of mental health issues that our veterans endure, how their trauma is created, triggered, effects, and expresses itself differently from each individual. Not only does Tyler adequately express the silent battle we often do not see but provides us the knowledge to help the veterans in our lives and/or come to know.
Moreover, Tyler's unassuming and innocent approach to exploring our country and new places allows the reader a vehicle to live vicariously through him. At times Tyler expresses events and moments that were personal to him, yet they are conveyed in a way that is touching and poignant to the reader. One of the greatest aspects of the read is how he was able to express personal moments in a way that was empathically moving yet accessible and comparable to our experiences.
Fast paced, accessible for all readers, and a fun read! Highly Recommend!
