Summary: Destroyed the series before it, but still a good book!
Comment: In The Road Home, Ellen Emerson White brings closure to the story of war nurse Lt. Rebecca Phillips. Though the overall book is excellent, it is also rather dispointing (if you have read the Echo Company Series.) Though Rebecca is a complex and interesting character, the reader cares more about what happens to the other characters who returned to "the world" and who played a much more important role in the series such as Viper, Finnegan, Hanson and (especially) Snoopy. None of the readers wanted to see Hanson go blind, Michael lose a leg or Doc and Jankowski die but that is just a sad part of war. However, I personally would like to know what happened to Snoopy when he got home to Newark or what would have happened if Michael did not lose his leg. These curiosities (along with many others) are provoked while reading. This book was not only thought-provoking and well-written (with a slight overuse of the dash) but it was also interesting and a wonderful piece of literature. I recommend it to almost everyone (with the exception of young, teen-age boys who only want to read about guns and all the nasty things mortars can do.)

Summary: I loved this book!
Comment: This is the second book of Ellen Emerson White's that I have read. I love this book. I read it over and over again and again. It gave me a better view on the war. Rebecca has a great personality that makes the war easier to read about. I heard about the Echo Company series, and I want to read them, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Since reading this book, I have read two other books by her, and I found them to be just as good as "The Road Home."

Summary: A GREAT BOOK!
Comment: A Review by Jordan
Rebecca Phillips runs away to serve in the military during the Vietnam War as a nurse. While serving in an American hospital in Vietnam she witnesses every atrocity imaginable, the suffering of dear friends and loved ones. Rebecca herself is suffering from an unbearable guilt of a certain event (for the reader to find out) that has changed her once cheery, friendly disposition into a depressed, miserable person that no one wants to be around. This is a story of a young woman who shuts herself out from the world, and her remarkable journey back.
This novel was extremely well written. The author displays true talent. She creates a realistic world with individual characters who are each separately distinguished by there unique character qualities, ways of life, and linguistic styles. I wouldn't say that it is fast past, but that doesn't make it bad. It keeps the reader interested, constantly revealing new information of Rebecca's mysterious, current situation.
I definitely recommend this book. Anyone would probably enjoy it, but especially women (though it isn't a chick book). However, it does have an advanced vocabulary. And there is some foul language that may not be suitable for young readers.
