If you were a fan of the television series M*A*S*H, then you would love this book. This book takes you to the beginning. It introduces the characters that we all know and love, and through third person perspective, the author depics the crazy antics of the characters. Revolving around Duke and Hawkeye, the book takes you through the routine of the crew of the Mobil Army Surgical Hospital , better known as the MASH 4077th. In my opinion, this book is a winner. Through the author's skills, you will become attached to the characters, and in the end, you will have a bittersweet feeling of the characters' departures in the end. The author spices the book up generously with the humor that is unique to the television series.
