The REMF Hurry up and Wait is a work of fiction. But its plot will leave you bubbling with emotions within you. I am eager to read through the entire novel. Congrats on being BOTD.

"How do soldiers deal with the trauma of living every day on borrowed time? Does a broken spirit get to heal again?" Your questions have captured what this book is about. Well written. Congratulations on the BOTD.

From the description, this book doesn’t sound like my cup of tea. Still, I hope others find enjoyment in it.

This could be a fantastic book for readers who like war stories. I will definately pass this along. It’s a great great review - just not my kind of genre . Fantastic for getting the BOTD

Soldiers do live their lives on edge.

This a very well written and helpful review because it explains exactly what readers can expect when reading this book. The story sounds like it shows a realistic view of war and its effects on soldiers , but it sounds on the depressing side and I don't think it is the ideal book for me.

I'm not a fan of war stories. And as it seems there are many brutal and heart-wrenching scenes in this book, I don't want to read it.
But thanks for your thorough and informative review. :tiphat:

A book about the many deaths experienced during the Vietnam War is not one I'd want to read because I assume it will contain a lot of graphic images. This is a great review though.

A slow-paced war story isn’t something I go for but it sounds interesting.

I like the inspiration to choose life over death. The fact that it handles general themes of war, including life back at the base and other normal operations, makes it unique. Thanks for the review.

This book seems to be action packed, despite all the negatives it may portray as scenes of death or killing nay be too gory for some.
I hope see a lot if the action and hooe it is as fun as the reviewer said.
I just hooe the Author would correct the errors mentioned, for a better reading experience.

It always breaks my heart when a powerful story is overshadowed by the number of typos and grammatical errors. This definitely sounds like a book that puts you right in the middle of the true meaning of war. I hope this novel is able to shed a little light on what our soldiers go through. Great job on the review.
