January 23, 2001: Paul is kind of a strange guy. I don't really understand him. However, he seemed like a pretty good guy. I especially like Kat.He seemed like someone that would be a gift just to be around.A lot of gore, a lot of death.This book gave insight to what war is really like.A terrific novel and an easy read.
