I dissagree I think the book was fantastic and the title actually would catch my eye. Also the stories, I think, were all very nicely written. My favorite story at the beggining was Bad day for Baseball. To me when the book comes to its end the stories seem more mature.

Not the kind of book I would have read but it was over all pretty good, but it would have been the last book to read if I had a choice.

I agree with D'Angelo, but also agree with Katlynn's fvorite book. I think for this book you have to be interested in war books to be interested in this book. So I do reccomend this book to everybody who is interested in war. I do think that some of the stories were like horror movies. This author did a great job.
