Puts the humanity back into the endless gruesome statistics coming out of Iraq. |

Pretty dissapointing to be honest, I love some of his poems but this wasn't great at all. He spends so much time obsessing over a few events, and he takes so long to fully explain stories, whats the point? To keep you reading obviously, but you shouldn't need to do that, people should keep reading because the books great not because it beats about the bush for 190 pages.
