## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great depiction of the times and conditions from an author who really was "there."
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2019*

This is the fourth book by James Jones that I have read.  His books are not pretty, they are human.  This book offers a look inside the life of four soldiers wonded in the Pacific Theatre of WWII and sent back to the states for treatment and recovery.  It covers the period just before their injury, through transport home, treatment, recovery, and entry back into mainstream life.  It is RAW.  There is a lot of sex, but it is controversial, but not erotic.  I was not alive at the time depicted in the book but I knew many men who were.  I believe this to be a fairly accurate depiction of conditions of the time and what a wounded solder might have experienced.  It deals a lot with PTSD which at the time depicted in the book was either considdered to not exist or it was described as "combat fatigue."  This book is well worth reading on many levels.  Just don't give it to your teenaged daughter...

    Really good ending to the series, but the abrupt ending kind of ruined it
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2014*

I know that Jones died just before finishing the last couple of chapters, but even knowing that I was unprepared for the jarring switch from Jones' writing style to the space summaries of the last 3 chapter.Jones gave his notes and ideas of how he wanted the book to end to Willie Morris. Instead of ending the book by writing the last 3 chapters, Morris simply summarized them in just a few sentences. I think it would have been a much more fitting tribute to actually take Jones' notes and expand them into 3 chapters emulating the style of the rest of the books. It would probably have been less jarring. Perhaps a small note at the end of the last "real" chapter explaining the situation might have been nice.Overall, this was a good ending to the pseudo-trilogy of Eternity, Thin Red Line, and Whistle. Jones wrote about PTSD back when it was called "battle fatigue" and really captures some of the issues that he and other soldiers of his generation faced returning home.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Book for Veterans
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2021*

Book captures quite well the mindset of veterans.  Quite realistic and bold for its time.  Not an action thriller, more a psychological study
