The book I decided to read is The Things They Carried which was written by Tim O’Brien. The book is a bunch of connected short stories of a platoon of soldiers in the Vietnam War. The work is a piece of fiction that uses real names and includes the author himself as the protagonist.

Overall‚ the book was interesting insight on the Vietnam War and a very good book to read.
