When I first started reading "The Things They Carried" I really enjoyed reading it. This is the first book I've read that I have really liked. I love movies and book's that have to do with war so this was a perfect read for me. This book was very detailed so it made everything very interesting. Tim O' Brien did a very good job writing this book. I like reading the different stories. Reading the same book is alright but I would rather read different stories like these.
