I won't go into the details for fear of spoilers, but also because I hope you'll come away from this review and RUN to purchase a copy of this book. But this turned into a fast-paced bloodbath, and my jaw was hanging open at the end. I was expecting to enjoy it on that level as well. I went into it thinking it would just be about a poor guy suffering PTSD and this young man getting a story out of him and some melodrama. I don't often say this of indie books, mainly because so many are poorly done, but this was an absolute gem of a novella! I was blown away by where the story took me.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review. This is my first time listening to one of her narrations, but I'll definitely be looking for more of his performances. The variations between characters and his regular narrator voice really added to the listening experience. Salzman did a great job with the narration. If you're interested in a fictionalized war PTSD short story, then I would definitely recommend Korean Road. It gets pretty intense at time and I just really can't imagine what it's like for anyone to go through that. This novella is based around Dickie's experience and his own PTSD and the widespread effects that it can have on a person and in truth, others around them, hence the various time periods. The novella spans three time periods during Dickey's life-During the war, right after the war and finally, when Dickie's kids are older.

I can't even image what some of these soldiers went through and how PTSD affected them, but Korean Road by Brian Scutt did a good job of giving me an idea.
