Review of 'The Things They Carried' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

One man's passionate story of his experience in the Vietnam War. This collection of shorts tells a tale in a non-linear fashion, and utilizes war stories that may or may not be true. He also uses the voices of his comrades and relations. I had never heard of this book, but a quick google reveals many study guides - if this is required reading for teens, I applaud.

Listened to the version narrated by Bryan Cranston, who does a spectacular job. Recommended!
