Book Reviews of His Name Was Donn: My Brother's Letters from Vietnam
Book Review: Lively, exciting, and to be made into a movie - definitely
Summary: 5 Stars
The letters reveal Donn who was a lively, exciting, fun-loving person with great love for his mother(the names he gives her in every letter never ceases to bring a smile)his sisters and all his other family members. His sense of humor is contagious as it springs from each of his letters. All the characters with their special quirks become familiar to the reader as he paints them so well in his letters. This is a great book that could be made into a movie and any actor who plays the role of Donn will be paying a rich tribute to this wonderful young man who teaches that life is full of promise and hope to be enjoyed every single day. The author did a great job of taking a painful memory and leaving a lasting impact on the readers who will close the book with a great big smile for having known this wonderful person. Great job Evie!!!!!!
Summary of His Name Was Donn: My Brother's Letters from Vietnam
You Will Not Forget Donn Sweet
Friends from high school still talk about the zany antics of Donn Sweet, a bright guy with a wild sense of humor. After college, he was drafted and sent to Vietnam. Lt. Sweet had a sign over his tent that said, "Smile! That's an order!" br>
The letters he wrote home brim with his humor, but they also contain brutal details and an unswerving look at war.
This is a book about life and death in Vietnam, but it is also a book about all wars and the families they affect forever.
