Bloody Excellent.......2003-05-23

I loved this book. I wasn't sure that a book about life in the U.S. Armed Forces, circa 1943, location: New Guinea, whose storyline is the hijacking of liquor would interest me, much less hold my attention - but that it did! The author's slice of life story reminds me of a less cynical (and much funnier) Flannery O'Connor, with its soul-bearing honesty about people and the situations they find themselves in. GREAT READ!

A whole Different Look.......2003-01-19

This is Eddie Devlin at war, a different war than Brokaw's. I suspect it's the one millions fought, the really personal one, where the objectives were to get a drink, get laid, get by and get home. The enemy isn't the enemy, the enemy is whoever sent you here, and wants to keep sending you places, and not necessarily back home. That's the guy you've got to outlast. Bloody Wet isn't about great American heroes, it's about little guys on the edges ... Funny? Yes, with a set of characters you end-up wondering, "whatever happened to?". Heroic? Not in the way we think. This compendium just goes on, making its way through the 20th century. Eddie survives ...
