This post will contain a brief summary of what occurs in the first 17 pages of the book, a prediction of pages to come, and my thoughts on the book so far.
Summary- When the book first starts off we see a vague recollection of a firefight between Americans and Iraqi insurgents. Then we learn that the setting is really in a hospital and soldier Matt Duffy is our main character. We also know now that he has suffered a massive injury to the head and is being examined by doctors. Also it seems that he doesn't remember how he got here or anything of the day before. But he does know he has just received a purple heart even though he doesn't know why.
Prediction- After first meeting our character and seeing how he really wants to get back in the fight i predict that he will get back into the war far before he is psychically capable. I also predict that even if Matt manages to recover physically he wont recover to his full metal stature.
My Thoughts- So far i really am enjoying this book, it's one that anyone can relate to. I also believe that this book is going to address a lot of questions about the military and that interests me.
