Search and Destroy

This was a birthday gift for my teenage grand daughter, who had read a different book by the same author. It was requested by her, not my choice, so apparently the book, story, author is of interest to teenage girls who enjoy reading good stories. He seemed very pleased with the gift.

The story of a young man who tries to find out the answers to his future and ends only with more questions. Sad, joyful and even exciting. The farewell to arm of this generation.

A book grandson will read theses books he has three by this author.

Although the book was presented as a book for adolescents, it was targeted more for early adult. It follows some of the more disturbing parts of the Vietnamese war through the eyes of a late teen who has little clue of what he wants out of life. He learns that war is indeed hell. I would recommend this as reading for any late teen considering joining the military.

this book is just plain good reading. Dean Hughes is a great author and I read many of his books.
