This wasn't an enjoyable book for me since it went into very specific reasons as to how PTSD occurs and who it could effect. It only showed less than a paragraph of actual story, so to me, it was pretty boring.

There isn't much of a setting in this book since its more of an explanation of what PTSD is and how it occurs, with mini stories or excerpts from people who experienced it. It ranges from the middle east, to korea, to vietnam,to Iraq, to any country in America.

"Those who suffer from PTSD have lived through an event so powerful that it actually changes the chemistry of the brain, causing symptoms like constant alertness, nightmares, sleeplessness, depression or flasbacks."

The book is in a third person person perspective with no main character. There is a lot of dialogue, but its complemented by pictures for examples.

"people who have narrowly survived fatal car crashes may refuse to drive or get into a car. A woman who has been raped in an alley may avoid dark narrow places"

One thing I loved about the book is the authors writing style. She has a very fluent pace, and usually gives examples of what she is talking about. For example when she talks about avoidance behaviors, she would give examples.

This book definitely isn't for readers who enjoy books that are story heavy. This book explains and goes through specific reasons as to how Post Traumatic Stress Disorder happens and how it effects people. This book has mini stories here and there, but is mainly about how PTSD occurs, and how it effects certain people.

"The lights dim in the Southern California movie theater and former Marine sergeant Eric schrumpf, who served in the Iraq war, tenses. He scans the audience for anyone who may be a threat. A man who appears to be Middle Eastern sits in the same row. Eric hears the man jangling something metal and a memory is triggered. Eric lunges toward the man believing he is a suicide bomber. An object falls to the floor. it is nothing more than a can of soda."
