5.0 out of 5 stars I missed this book., October 3, 2002
By 
"remo_934" (West St. Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't cry, it's only thunder (Hardcover)
I read this book when it first came out around 15 or so years ago. The story really truly touched me and I regret the fact that I did not purchase the book at that time. (Read a library edition)
Since then, I moved to a completely different region of the world, and am anxious to get my new used copy sent to me so I can pour into a story that I've been longing to read again, since I've been trying to procure a copy of it for 10 years now!
If you are considering purchasing this book - don't hesitate. It is THAT good.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing and very touching impact on the reader., December 13, 1998
I read this book when I was only fifteen years old and, still, ten years later and of all the books I've read since it is the only book that still stands out in my mind. I have searched high and low for it since but have not been able to locate a copy. It's a shame because it is hard to find such writing from the heart these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Cry, it's only thunder, March 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
While the movie and the book depict the main character a bit diferently, I highly recomend both. I was a Corpsman(Medic) with the Marines in Viet Nam several years after the events of the story but I had a very similar experience. The web site Capmarines.com gives a program used by the Marine Corps that was more "Peace Corps" than what you would call the usual impression of the Marine Corp. We lived and worked in a small village. The Marines were a police force and I was the "doctor" for the village. I am attracted to this story because it shows a part of the war that wasn't about the fighting but about the attempts at healing. I think this story will give you a very different idea of the Viet Nam war, a positive one, one of healing and kindness and compassion.
