My Greatest Novel?
Rating:
5 / 5
Not My meaning "mine," of course; just My meaning "My Choice for..."
...Hard to say...Was my favorite novel when I read it, but then so was It. I'm a bit removed from Vea's words now, though I can say its a damn shame that the last review of this book is from 2003...not enough folks breathing this air. This story is air, and air is essential, right?
Greatest or no, I will never forget the ultimate revelation of Gods Go Begging - the most beautiful experience I have ever had with literature. True love was never more pure, more real.
Even my memories breed tears.

Alfrodo Vea shows the way that war realy efects people not only on the battle field but also the people that the soldiers leave behind when they die. The story is of two battles one fought in Vvietnam and another fought on the streets of San francisco. As the book progresses the reader finds out more and more about the story up until the shocking This is a great book chock full of Vea's twisted humor and many interestring facts and I would recomend it for anyone who enjoys a good truthful novel about the vietnam war.
Definitely Intriguing

The style used to write the book is amazing. I love most how it continually jumps back and forth through different times and memories of the main character, Jesse Pasadoble. By doing this, it only lets the audience find out little portions of the story at a time. By the end of the novel, everything comes together and makes for a beautiful plot line. Alfredo Vea also forces you to fall in love with several of his characters by making them so charismatic. The reader, shortly through the book, begins loving to read every single line about any one of the amazingly created characters. If you read it, you will love it.
