Going After Cacciato "To call Going After Cacciato a novel about war is like calling Moby-Dick a novel about whales."So wrote The New York Times of Tim O'Brien's now classic novel of Vietnam. Winner of the 1979 National Book Award, Going After Cacciato captures the peculiar mixture of horror and hallucination that marked this strangest of wars.In More »

[ 4.0 stars ] "Ironic indeed is the fact that this is an absolutely fantastic book except for the parts that deal with going after Cacciato. The on-the-road-to-Paris chapters pale in comparison to the rest of the book; especially once you realize this journey is imagined, these sections are little more than tedious and annoying distractions. A cute ploy that just doesn't work. Maybe this is a case of a young ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "The blurring of reality with possibilities mimics the surreal nature of the war and how it is experienced by spec four Paul Berlin. The fantastical journey makes the reader move from belief to doubt and back again. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "I decided to read this book because a few years ago I read The Things They Carried,in high school. And I loved that book,so I was sure this one wouldn't disappoint.

[ 2.0 stars ] "I liked his "The Things They Carried" better (both books the reverberations of the author's experiences in the Vietnam War) though it at times seemed as if it too was searching for significance. To me the literary form "magical realism" is merely a cover for lack of coherence or as a way to segue from one idea or story line to another unrelated one. In "The Things They Carried" O'Brien str ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 1.0 stars ] "Having spent 8 years in Vietnam during the war, I cannot fathom how an entire squad of men just got up and made their way to Paris chasing a deserter. The money that was supposedly spent for food, transportation and shelter wasn't there to begin with amidst the lowest paid of military personnel to have funded this escapade-that in itself made the story implausible. Additionally, the story was ..." Courtesy by Amazon
