Title: bored and unimpressed
Review: I was very unimpressed with this novel. Yes, the war scenes were well written, but there was just too much of the same thing. I also do not feel that the novel actually tied all of the characters together well. The ending was so far-fetched. You could tell it was a man writing about female characters. I was reading this book for a book club, but probably would not have had any desire to finish it otherwise. It should not be considered a "novel of love and war"- it should be considered a novel of war with the occassional female character thrown in. The only person I would recommend this to would be a man who is very interested in reading war scenes, and then I would tell him to skip the first part and the 1978 parts, and just read the war scenes all in one sequence.
Is the review positive or negative?
