“I suffered with it.”

Written on: 18/05/2012

This is just unbelievable book. The only book, from books that I have read, that made me physically sick. This is just unbelievable storytelling. I feel physically sick and disturbed by the images of rats eating bloated and dead body's of solders.

This is not some macho story about war, this is real human perspective about what and how do I feel in the field of battlefield of WW1. This is unbelievably personal and bright story.

Although some of other reviews downplay significance of Love story at first chapters and trough book, I think that illustrates way of life at the end - from bloody birth to bloody end.

I wont recommend this to friend - this must be personal journey to this book.
This wont be book for mind that is only fed with Hollywood war-macho stories.
