Review of In the Year of the Rabbit

As the saying goes that for peace to reign, there must be war. Also, people can understand one another when they disagree sometimes. Nice review!

The author did a great job in putting the story together, though not a fan of historical fiction books. Nice review

The book highlights the main character's intriguing view of the numerous negatives that came with the Vietnam War. I don't usually read historical fiction, but this is one I might enjoy.

Come to think of it, if monks, priests, or bishops were the ones fighting each other: then, there would be no bloodshed or destruction of property. This author is indeed very thoughtful. This review and story were thought-through and well-structured. Thumbs up for both of you.

Thou I have never heard about the Vietnam war and a story about a soldier becoming a monk. I think this book must be an interesting one to look into. Also, I think the title doesn't connect with the story in the book.

What could make a soldier decide to be a monk? What influenced this decision psychologically and spiritually?
Sounds interesting.

Well, I love the fact that the "cameraman" who is the protagonist thinks uncommonly and differently. I really love his perspective. I look forward to reading this Terence A. Harkin book. Great review. Congratulations on BOTD.

The adventure of a talented and pacifist soldier sounds like a good fit. I would like to see the blend of this book's plot and I look forward to reading it. Congratulations on BOTD.

In addition to narrating the famous conflict, the book also brilliantly recounts the psychological battle of the protagonist and his constant effort to overcome his inner demons. It's flawless, and the author deserves to be praised for creating such original work on a well-worn subject.

Ordinarily, I would skip this book because I'm not a frequent reader of historical fiction. But after this glowing review, I'm curious enough to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I'm glad to know that the author pulled off to narrate the well-worn story of the Vietnam war. The protagonist is also interesting, wanting to fight his inner demons. Congrats on being BOTD!

[Mbali Qalinge]

I'm not a historical fiction fan, but I enjoy good books that go deep into someone's psychology. It would be interesting to read how the protagonist battles his inner demons and wants to become a monk.

In the year of the Rabbit is story of a young man named Brendan Leary who was a soldier who became a monk. He was concerned about the Vietnam war as he did not understand how bombing North Vietnam would liberate South Vietnam. He did what make sense to him: he became a monk. I believe that Brendan was a sensitive individual and wanted to make a difference in life. Thanks for your review.

Wars are mostly gruesome and this book focuses on the psychological battles the protagonist has to face. I won't be reading this though, but I think it has a lot of lessons and presents a side of the war many might not see otherwise. Thanks for your review!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction book following an army combat cameraman assigned to the Vietnam War. The book seems to show the development of the character as he experienced the war first hand. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

[Stephanie Elizabeth]

This book sounds intriguing, but I am not typically into historical war fiction, so I think I will pass on this one. It sounds emotionally charged with well-developed characters, and I am sure it will resonate with many. Thanks for the informative review.
