Summary: unneccesary and useless
Comment: The cliff notes are useless with this book. Poorly done. A waste of $ The book isn't hard to understand and follow. The cliff notes try really hard to make it some great literature - it's not.

Summary: This Book Needed Help
Comment: "The Things They Carried." This book has many sides to it. In one moment there is love, happiness, and serenity then moments later the reality of war flips the story! The story line is so messed up on so many levels. There is a fine line between the truth of the matter and O'Briens imagination.
This book has so much pain and heartache. With a mix of passion for other men at war. Even through all the deaths and destruction, these soldiers seem to taunt life with life and death games. If you were at war wouldn't you think that you would be making sure you wouldn't die!
For war this book sure seems to let you know how it really was. The most important thing was that it had a historical value. At least he was there to be able to tell about it.
At the beginging this book did not start at all right. Then since he was so unhappy that he did not experience a life changing effect, he focused on the negative outlook. O'Brien should have been happy he survived the Vietnam War.

Summary: Great study aid
Comment: Cliff's notes once again delivers as a fantastic study aid. By no means should you use this as a replacement for the book. O'Brien has emerged as one of the greatest modern writers on the subject of war, and it would be a pity to overlook his writing. But if you are looking for help to write a paper on the topic, or just curious to discover more about the underlying meaning of the novel, don't hesitate to buy Cliff's Notes.
