## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Pretty good read
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020*

First off, I'd have rated this one star more, except for the profanity. It felt like every other sentence was laced with it and, often, it felt as if the profanity was contrived and forced rather than something that occurred naturally. Other than that, this was good read told from a unique perspective, that of a "simpleton." I never really figured out why Earlwig was mentally challenged, but hats off to the author for her ability to get inside his head to tell the story. This is a World War II yarn that delves into the Bataan Death March in the Philippines, or at least the aftermath of that horrendous treatment of U.S. soldiers. I love stories about getting past hard times and this was definitely hard times. It left you with hope. I will say one thing felt out of place and it was what I perceived as an anti-war, anti-soldier viewpoint. Everyone's story is unique--I truly appreciate that--but some of the reactions to World War II shared in this story (people didn't respect those who were captured in Bataan, soldiers resented the military, overwhelming sympathy for the enemy) simply don't line up with the viewpoints I've heard expressed by those who lived through World War II. All in all, a good story though!

    Powerful and beautifully told
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018*

I was drawn into this unexpected book. By the time I realized it was not what I thought it was, I had to keep reading. Told by Earl "Earwig" Gunderman, who suffered brain damage from a childhood illness, the reader sees the small Wisconsin town with childlike and unfiltered clarity.  The boy who is protected and watched over rises to be the strong defender and guardian angel of those he loves.A powerful element of the story is his brother Jimmy's enlistment as World War II looms, and his homecoming as a very changed man. Those he left behind have changed as well, each affected by the results of the war on their home town.All of the characters are drawn with great love; all are to some extent flawed, but all have depth and feel like people we might know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Loved it. But wouldn't Earwig's grammar have improved a little bit over the years?
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019*

I enjoyed this book a lot.  I really liked the characters and got involved with them.  My only criticism is one I'm not sure I'm right about and would like to hear what other readers thought.  I thought that the way Earwig talked would have improved as he got older.  I know he had some kind of brain damage, but after twenty years of hearing his friends and family talk, wouldn't he have have heard how verb conjugation sounded? Maybe a linguist or a special education teacher could let me know  how to think about this.  Also, I thought Earwig's dad views were maybe a little too enlightened to be believable.  I enjoyed that they were that way, but I wondered if that wasn't an anachronism.
