Book Reviews of Going After Cacciato
Book Review: A Glass Half Empty
Summary: 3 Stars
Tim O'Brien is recognized as one of the premire Vietnam writers for good reason; his prose is exceptional. And for that reason alone I can recommend this book. As for content, I was disappointed. The tone is down, way down. If it's a rainy day and you're in a funk, don't go near this book. And maybe that's his thing--the glass half-empty, woe is me approach to Vietnam. As this is the only book of his I've read, I can't confirm that. But because I read this book first, I am not inclined to read the others. If you find beautiful prose more entertaining than coherent content, this is your book. Personally, I want both for my money.
