Title: A view to publishing....
Review: This is not a good book. Having spent half my life in the army I can't understand why Jennings got so far into the Legion. It's like he was thinking about writing it all the while instead of getting on with his life and work there. He's almost too articulate for his own sanity.I also had the feeling there is a second voice in the writing, either an editor, or ghost writer, who is leaving things out. One thing I found disturbing, there's a thread of homosexuality running through this book. It's as if Jennings wants to be the man he longs to be, a sort of super-heterosexual-action-man, and hopes it will rub off on him by joining the French Foreign Legion where there must be the type of man he longs to be. When Jennings discovers this is not the way to manhood he deserts.
Is the review positive or negative?
