| The Books Cover |
Their where a few quirks in this book that made it often hard to get into. However none the less it was a very suprising and intresting story. The fact that the entire book is from the point of view of a real person, In a real situation shows they're mentality in this situation. This intrests me personally because i can compare his reactions to mine, like i often do with books like this.
The downside to reading a 300 page book in this fashion, is that it gets repetitive. Really repettitive... While the book often has exciting stories and suprises about his and other captors treatment. But when some 200 pages are filled with "Reconnaissance", on things like how numerous yet completely nostalgic arabic armies are, or ways to escape an installation through a hole in the fence, do get a bit hard to read.
With the bad does come good. Althought the book may become reppettitive at times, as most books do, it had many unuiqe aspects i'd never seen in literature before. The first being he held nothing back, he hid nothing i would later have to research, he opened up all of his thoughts, shared idea he had, as well as how the brain fo a soldier works in a situation like being held hostage. Also he described everything in great detail, to the point where i felt like i was their for most of the book.
This is still a rather interesting book, and it tought me a few things i probablly never would of learned otherwise. I would reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys POW stories, but even by POW stories this book is still an oddball.
