4 stars for the audiobook, 3 for the print version. Read this for book club, I started with the print version and had to switch to the audiobook because I had a long drive and it was also tough to focus because of the writing style having no paragraph breaks. I know this is intentional and I don’t want to take away from the author’s work, but I felt I comprehended it much better by listening. Not my favorite genre or writing style but I’m glad I read it. 

The novel itself is an amazing work about identity, loyalties, and the messed up conflict that was the Vietnam War. Too many thoughts to put in a review but overall I thought it was eye-opening and achieved the goal of making the reader feel uncomfortable in thinking through history and the complexity of it the war. 
It was also funny!! A dark humor that fit surprisingly well amidst the horrors described. 

Themes included anti-capitalism, divided loyalties, identity, nihilism yet hope. Really thought-provoking.
