In the novel In Country, by Bobbie Ann Mason it basically tells a journey of a girl who wants to figure out who apart of her is. Basically she wants to know more about her father who was killed in the Vietnam War. In my opinion, the book had an okay plot and was okay to read, however; I would not personally recommend the book to anyone. To me the book had too much unnecessary information such as when she ran. It seem I read a whole chapter at one point about Sam run before she stop at Tom's garage. I feel that it had its good points like when Sam had her Tom fling or the drama with her friend Dawn and being pregnant. Things like that are what keep me reading. The last good thing about the book I liked was when she found the letters her dad wrote and recieved his journal. To me that what she had been searching for but I feel that I would have missed all of that if I stopped reading. So I guess I would give this book
2 1/2 out 5 stars for my book review.
