Excellent Book
I was assigned to read this book in my first year of college. That was in 2010. Here it is 15 yrs later and I still remember how much I enjoyed it. So I decided to purchase it. Very happy with my purchase.

In my opinion this is of the greatest novels ever written. Tim O'Brian's collection of connected short stories is a grim and disturbing look into the Vietnam War and the hardships faced by the men who fought in it

Assigned Reading
I ordered this book new for my son's reading assignment. It arrived sooner than expected by a couple of days. It was in great condition with out any tears or dirt marks. And the company offered a competitive price. With Walmart I had free shipping! I would order from this vendor again.

The things they carried has a heart of its own
I have read this book every year since 2014 before schools had you read it, there's always something new to read or learn, this is a set of war stories that aren't all about war.
