This book was just...boring. I don't really even have strong enough feelings about it to write any kind of insightful review.

I read theKindle sample and I wasn't thrilled. Then I found this review: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/books/review/the-girl-in-the-blue-bereI have switched this to my maybe shelf.
This is only the second book I've ever read about Vietnam and I like how different it was from the other one (Rumor of War). I appreciated the pop culture references and I disagree with the critics who think they are worthless.
This book takes on the Vietnam War after the fact. It focuses on the daughter of a vet who died and her relationship with her uncle, the brother-in-law of the dead vet. Much of the references are dated, but this does a good job of showing how war impacts us many years after the events are over.
