I knew a pretty good amount of stuff about the war before reading this book. However this book has really enhanced my knowledge and I have learned a lot more. This book sounds a lot like other war stories that I have heard from Vietnam, but it gives you a more in depth view at the story and the things that happened there. I liked the section in which Tim O'Brien talked about the man he killed and the memories that he saw of him. I could most easily relate to this because I have heard of things like this happening before and I knew that it happens to real people. I also like the sections when they actually talked about the different things they carried and why they carried it. It was humorous at times but also interesting hearing the reason that they carried it. I think that there aren't more stories like this because most people do not like talking about the terrible things that happen and war and so they keep it to themselves. I think that the soldiers don't think that we can understand that they went through and so we won't appreciate their stories enough....more
