I finished the book yesterday and it was such an amazing read! Full disclosure - the book moved me to tears. From start to finish, I thought it was amazing. I love that there isn't just focus on the war but what is happening to Arlis outside of that. The character development was really great too. I felt like I came to know Arlis really well as well as is fellow soldiers. It's also book I would definitely read again.
Starting Chapter One tomorrow, hoping to finish it in about 10 days. Planning on taking a boat load of notes so I will check in here & there during the next 2 weeks to share how I feel. I've only thumbed through a few pages & paragraphs, but already I know that it will be an easy read & hearing Darin speak so well about it on last week's Podcast only makes it that much more intriguing.
