Jeremiah and Jessica both were classmates of mine, I was in the same class as Jessica. It was hard reading a book about my classmates and seeing how they've changed, and not for the better. It was like ripping open their lives and dissecting it. So for me it was odd to read this book and think of how I didn't know of them to act the way they were acting in the book.

That being said this book does a good job of describing PTSD through the flash backs, flash forwards, the here and the there, can you throw you for a loop, I would have preferred to read all of what happened in Iraq first and then have some flash backs here and there, that way I could keep track of who is who, who is where, etc. That's the hardest part is remember who is who, there were so many people involved in his life that it gets hard to remember everyone.

Like I said though to me this was a very hard book to read because I'm reading about two people I went to school with and page by page they're changing from what I remembered them as, and it was hard to read that.
