Anyway, Mary McMahon pointed out to me that the chapter ends with "...Curt Lemon was all smiles," (p. 84) which is a rather clever pun. This is the part where I try not to mention how I spent an inordinate amount of time searching for pun-related videos on YouTube and fail(ed) at both endeavors.
Also, is it me, or is this novel mostly a compilation of anecdotes? It's particularly evident in the short chapters. It's a collection of war stories, and I actually have a bit of a problem with that. He talks about how none of them are true, but sometimes he says one of them is true, and then he says they're love stories, really, and I just don't really know what he's talking about anymore. There are too many abstract ideas floating around at once. Just tell it to me straight: is it the truth or not?
