Now that I'm actually awake, I might as well write something about this. I took a little break from In Memoriam and this was on hand to read on train rides and dude this was so good? I wasn't feeling it at first and the Sweetheart chapter took me a long while to get through, but after that the book took off so fast. The way fiction v reality is presented is so nicely done, and man the way O'Brien writes about war is so emotional. There's so many quotes in this I could put here - but alas Anyways this was good, thanks professor american lit for recommending this
