Title: 1 Star just about.....................
Review: Having read all of Ben Eltons novels I approached this book with concern as to whether it was a political statement or comic approach to the tragedy of war.It was neither, just Ben Elton trying to put aspects of society into a book and using the war as a vehicle to comment on some moral issues.We have;Gay soldiers falling in love with gay officers, a suffragette woman hating policemen then sleeping with one, a perceived traitor to his country becoming reluctant hero, a murder case that could be solved by a seven year old plus many other poor sub plots.The plot is appallingly weak, the conversations that the soldiers have amongst themselves whilst at the front line are painful to read.Even with 30 pages to go I was still tempted to put the book down !! Utter rubbish.
