Never Endng Cycle

The book reminded me of listening to a song that was on repeat one hundred times. The same events seemed to happen in the book over and over again. Jake hangs out with his friend, they drink, talk, drink, fight, drink, get drunk, then go to bed. That seemed to be the chain of events that happened throughout the book. The location the friends drank at changed but not much else. Everywhere Jake went he had to have a drink. I was not sure if people just drink a lot when they are on vacation or if people in France and Spain drink a lot. I think Jake might be struggling with personal problems as a result of the war.
