Chase Von, The Last Panther's Review

+ Better than film
+ Personal, but (seemingly) honest memoir

Having PTSD myself from Wars and other things, I thought this was a great movie! I didn't read the book first however and normally I do but from what I gather the movie in this instance was much better than the book... I have read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and in many ways this reminded ...
