Title: Lack of appreciation
Product review: I read Birdsong and was stunned. WW1 came alive for me and the sheer scope of the tragedy. I couldn't wait for Pat Barker's book - WHAT A LET DOWN! I have given 2 stars because it is reasonably written, but she brings none of Faulks intrinsic understanding of the male condition under such circumstances. All in all she lacks an appreciation of what was happening at a human level. Good try, but not well done; and the trilogy won a booker?
