Title: Absurdly Overrated Fluff
Product review: Absurdly overrated, and I am wondering what kind of bigwig muckety-muck connections Ms. Barker has in the publishing industry which allows for such mediocre material to receive such propagandistic hooplah.It is written adequately enough for a psychological novel, sure; however, as a chronicle of WAR it fails miserably: there is precious little of the dirt and grit of war, just a lot of fluff from someone who has obviously never experienced it first hand. Barker should stick to something she knows, something she's actually experienced. She gives the reader so little concrete detail here: One or two pages of "Homage to Catalonia" by Orwell, or "A Farewell to Arms" by Hemingway, are worth far more than this entire light-weight book in providing the reader with a real glimpse into war and a soldier's thoughts.
