### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book, great depiction of a veteran dealing with PTSD
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2023*

Had to read this book for my college courses about 10 years ago. I really enjoyed the book and apparently when the college assigned the book also had an agreement with the author to come and talk about it, answer questions, and sign copies. I work in mental health and wanted to reference this book when talking about PTSD and I didn’t want my autographed copy to be outside of my library at home so I bought another. Hope you’re reading this Clint and I hope you’re doing well, thank you for sharing your story.

    What We All Need to Know and Don't Want to
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 15, 2015*

PTSD is a life sentence that consumes your life energy to deal with it. We've seen the stereotypes on film: the Vietnam-era Vet, the "shell-shocked" WWII Vet, and now we find ourselves swamped with a tide of new Vets from the Middle East campaigns. Clint Van Winkle shows us his own personal hell that returned with him to the States. It's uncomfortable on many levels. Some of the details are graphic, but sometimes the less-graphic ones are more appalling. Your heart will stick in your throat when he tells of the actions he lived through and the way those moments come back to interfere with his here-and-now. This book should definitely be required reading for high school and beyond, to educate those generations coming of age to the grim realities and legacy of what it means to be a soldier in time of war.

    Sometimes Sad and Emotional - But True
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2011*

I studied Van Winkle's memoir as part of a project I did to earn my master of humanities degree and read it more than once.  As a former Marine, I understand the struggles Van Winkle experiences with alcohol and finding stability in life after the Corps.  The lifestyle of drinking and spending endless hours in VFW halls is all too familiar and true.  I would have given Soft Spots a "5" star rating if it were more fluid to read.  There are some passages that require slightly more eye muscle to turn the page.  But, overall, one will come away with a better understanding of a struggling Marine's life after the Corps and the characteristics seen in most recovery narratives.
