Title: ...yes, but it's boring!
Product review: The nice things that others have said about this book are all true. The characters are real and well fleshed-out. The things they do are understandable. The atmosphere is very evocative, and the messages about personal connection and war are important. The problem with the book is that basically nothing happens. The characters just basically hang around thinking about things like their relationships with each other and their deepest thoughts, and sometimes talk to each other about those things. But they never DO anything. So if you like that kind of thing, then this may be the book for you. But I can't recommend it to those of us who like a little plot with our stories.
