Best part of story, including ending:
I loved this story because though it was a ludicrous story line, it was taken very seriously and had some real elements of truth to it.
Best scene in story:
My favorite scene was probably the flashback where the commander of the psychic unit forces all the recruits to the unit to relax and dance. It was just a really good juxtaposition to see the serious looking soldiers letting loose and dancing.
Opinion about the main character:
I really liked the characters desire to believe. He didn't think that logically he should believe the stories but he really wanted to believe them.
