The Vietnam war leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of a few people in this novel. No human deserves to be uncompensated.

It´s an excellent book!! Its language is very easy to tread, you can´t stop reading once you start. I really love the description the author gives. I would really recommend it, especially since it pones up your eyes to the truth of how veterans are treated, and how the world really sees them when they deserve a lot more!!!

While I have yet to finish the book, I have nothing but good things to say about iy. The author did a wonderful job describing the realities of being a veteran. I, for some reason, really liked how he presented conversations between the characters throughout the book. I was also intrigued how he was able to capture the feelings of anger and uneasiness when the veteran's pensions were in jeopardy. War books usually are not what I read, but I'm halfway through this and I give it a 4 out of 4 stars.

I haven't read this great piece of work. However, based on the views of those who've enjoyed this book, I must confess that it will be on my want to read shelf for the month of December.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I wasn't sure about finishing this book, but your account made me remember the importance of this time period.

Bless you. Too many people prefer to turn away, just like some of Zach's neighbors did when he got sick. Still do.

Thank You for your insight into the unfortunate way seriously ill folks are often treated by those close to them.

Definitely. All the more reason to share books like this one. There is more fact than fiction in it.

This book is an eye-opener. I began to understand the terrible things veterans suffer from the system they served and sacrificed their lives for. What I like most is the humor the author added. I like the part Zach and Chief played slapsies. I strongly recommend this book to all so that they would learn to honor veterans and military personnels. I'd rate this book 4 out of 4 stars.

[Prisallen]

I felt it was an excellent book and would rate it 4 stars. It was a little hard to get into at the beginning because of the descriptions of the ship and the different dialects. However, once I got into it, I found it very compelling. I thought it served a very good cause in bringing the sailors plight in the war to the front and their mistreatment by the VA afterward. My least favorite aspect was the ending.

[Nonso Samuelson]

I have not yet read this book, however, I have lately found myself to be more fascinated with war stories that focus on the aftermath of the war itself. It feels more relatable to me that way. From the title of the book I can safely deduce that a reasonable portion of the book is dedicated to the post-war period of the Vietnam Naval War. That, to me, is golden.

I like that the book contains elements of humor. It's needed to balance out in such a book that will undoubtedly contain some gruesome scenes. I hope it was tastefully integrated though.

I really did enjoy this book; even more than I expected. The phonetics added life to the characters. The author's writing style is easy to comprehend.

[Erin Dydek]

Overall I though the book was slow at the start and had a few unnecessary scenes throughout, but the ending was packed with emotion. Once I got through all the accented dialogue and extreme detail of ship operations in the first chapters, I started enjoying the book more. By the second portion I was deeply involved in Zach’s story and hoped for the best even though I knew something bad was going to happen when the lumps first appeared. I’d definitely recommend this book to people who enjoy historical fiction but would give them a heads up about the dialogue and detail at the beginning.

The book gives one a little understanding of the Vietnam war
