The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

2.0

Without spoilers, this book was a compilation of war stories told through Tim O'Brien's perspective in Vietnam. While some chapters link ideas to another chapter, there is skipping around chronologically. Overall it doesn't create a huge impact, at least for me as a reader. The plot of the book was interesting, but the book was assigned to me and I probably wouldn't have read it otherwise. What was enjoyable was Tim O'Brien's writing style, his use of run-on sentences and adjectives.
