Review:

Fuck am I stoned. Right off me tits.

This was an excellent book. Intense prose in a jerky, staccato delivery. The action moves very quickly but then stalls and dies in Book V. There’s denouement and denou-disappointment, which this was.

Illustrates the futility of war and armies especially in the Great War.

If you took out all the paragraphs with drinking vermouth in them you’d have about three solid pages left in the book.

All things considered, a worthy classic.

This book made me want to: stay out of wars
