The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

I really enjoyed this book and how detailed it was. The main character Jimmy Cross was a very sensitive and caring Lieutenant and shared all about his war stories. I especially like the prospective of the book, and the tone of the narrator. The entire tone was very exciting, and it made it easy to picture what the narrator was describing in my head. My favorite parts were when Jimmy would talk about his love Martha and how they struggled to keep close while he was away fighting. I don't normally enjoy war stories, but the stories within the book made me think differently.
