No Pistol Tastes the Same (PTSD Disaster Book 1) by Jacob Paul Patchen – Review by reviewed by Tanya Wall

No Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This a book of what happens to people after war. PTSD is a real illness that our soldiers come back with. The main character of the book is JP Grimes. He is fighting to regain his hold on himself after, in the middle of a firefight, fails to shoot the child wearing a suicide vest. He can’t pull the trigger because he sees his son in the child resulting in his entire squad dying. He returns to his family tortured by his moment’s inaction. After returning home, he struggles with connecting with his son. He can’t control his emotions and flashbacks. He refuses help, and things go from bad to worse with the death of his grandparents who raised him. This story is deeply emotional and gives good insight to what living with PTSD is and how to heal.
