4 of 5 stars
Read in January, 2008

Entertaining read with a sympathetic lead character. Narration switches between first person and third person and present and past tense, which sounds like it should be annoying, but is handled so deftly it never is. There's an underlying sense of absurdity to it all, especially when dealing with the military. Very enjoyable read and the ending manages to pull off suspense even though you know what's actually coming.
