Despite the ramblings on about New Orleans and Katrina (they were not the only ones to get damage, goddamnit!!!) this book was interesting. I like that they put most of the focus on his tours of the military, sometimes with locations that coincided with those of the Marines in Generation Kill which I also enjoyed reading. PTSD is a serious thing and when people try to ignore it and blame other things, then they are only fooling themselves.
Zach's suffering, great enough to kill and cut up his girlfriend then jump off a building, was intense. Even the people who knew him said they saw the signs yet no one did a thing about it. It's amazing what people will ignore whe it has nothing to do with them directly.
All in all, good book. Thanks Kelly.
