The sensational sequel to The Dimbo Patrol. As reviwed by readers' Favorite, who give this book 5 stars... Lemonlips is a work of fiction in the historical fiction, action, and interpersonal drama sub-genres, and was penned by author John Klawitter. A reworking of a previous novel that explored daily life, love, and culture during the Vietnam War, this is the second book in the series following The Dimbo Patrol. The novel is intended for adult reading audiences and contains the use of explicit language throughout, as well as some scenes of the realistic and visceral experiences of war. Here we continue the primary plot with an ensemble cast of such colorful characters as Beale, Mad Denny, and Larky, discovering more than they ever wished to know about life, death, and themselves. Author John Klawitter presents the Nam Viet Series in a condensed and more palatable format for readers who like to take their military epics bit by bit. I thought that the story split and chapter separation made this volume a compelling piece within itself, choosing good start and endpoints to tell a significant and emotive story with plenty of highs and lows. One of the things which I really enjoyed about the work was the use of the present tense narrative structure, which keeps us grounded in the moment and the sudden twists of fate that can happen during such a tense and tenuous time. I also felt that the dialogue was a particular standout, and gave great emotion and insight into the military culture at the time. Overall, I would certainly recommend Lemonlips and the Nam Viet series for fans of emotive and immersive historical fiction.
