IF I DIE IN THE COMBAT  ZONE BOX ME UP AND SHIP ME HOME BY TIM O'BRIEN

               This book is about a young solider that was drafted into the army during the Vietnam war. In the book they call him O'Brien. He tries to escape from the war by going to Canada but he gets sick the day before his escape. He ends up in the war and goes through everything tear able things like raids and killing. He sees people being killed and he hates being there. Half of him wants him to escape his duty and the other half wants him to stay and fight for his country. He wants to honor his country so he stays and fights. 

               My favorite part of the book was when he gets into fire fights with the enemies because i love the action parts. The action parts in the book are the best they give detail to what going on. I also like the part when he tries to escape but gets sick. I think this part is funny. 

                If you are in books about war and action this book is great for you. I would recommend this book to ages 14 and up because there are some gory parts in the book. I would rate this book a 4 because i like hearing stories about wars and action.
