This book is good, but really depressing. He makes everything in the book clinical and extremely personal at the same time and I thought it was amazing how much he wanted to be a correspondent. His writing style was very engaging, while it was really hard to read some parts because he was in such terrible circumstances so often, I never wanted to put the book down. I felt terrible about so many of the things he's seen and been through, and even worse for the people that were living in the nightmares he describes and can't leave at the end of the story.

Do NOT read this if you are looking for something light, but it is SO worth reading.
