2.0 out of 5 stars
Author tries to be too descriptive;hard to read;aggravating,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mad Minutes and Vietnam Months: A Soldier's Memoirs (Paperback)
Clodfelter must have spent days paging through his thesaurus, looking for descriptive words he hadn't used already.Was very hard to read, I found myself having to put the book down because I got so pissed off because of Clodfelter's bogus "flowery language".
If he had just written it as it came to him, it would have made much more pleasant reading.
Clodfelter did have some unique experiences that I hadn't come across in my previous reading of the Vietnam War.

Horrible book, do NOT waste one penny on this worthless book,
By "scott2333" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mad Minutes and Vietnam Months: A Soldier's Memoirs (Paperback)
I have never gotten so angry reading a book. Mr. Clodfelter would only have about 20 pages if he just told his story. He obviously wore out his thesaurus using words like "abattoir", "pugnacious", "malodorous", etc. I realize that these are words, but in a first person perspective of vietnam, they do not fit. I find it hard to imagine that a publishing company actually read this book and said "yes, let's publish this". They should have burned it. If anyone wants to know how I really feel, curl up for a few hours with this book.
