    In Country

    I loved the book but the only thing I did not like about this book is that it has way too many details that people don't really need to know.

    80s and Vietnam

    I thougth IN COUNTRY was very interesting for me, a person aged 19. Now, the main charater is of a diffent genaration, one that I don't know a lot about. At first the Vietnam thing was a little annoying, but as I got to understand what it meaned to Sam (the main character) it was as interesting to me as it was to her. I enjoyed 'living' in the 80s with Sam and yet still I related to wanting to escape and grow up. It was a very good book; I didn't want it to end!

    A Must Read

    In Country was an outsanding book and a rebirth for me. I choose it off my school's reading list and it was an absolue pleasure. I considered it a page turner, I just could not put it down! People of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and places should give it a chance.

    A disappointment

    This is a plot that would have been perfect as a short story, but as a full length noevl drags. There are too many details that are not important on a story-telling level. On a symbolic level, this story contradicts itself many times. In the end, you are satisfied with Mason's message, but left to wonder about the extranous details which would have been better left on the notecards on her desk.

    A True Best!

    We had to read this novel in an American Literature class at my school. This is one ofthe few novels we read where I would say that we 'got' to read it instead of 'had' to read it. The novel is incredible and deserves and demands to be on reading lists across the country!
