"I really liked it because it is an intense, detailed look at what war is like on the front lines (not, actually, that I would know), and because it is not a typical war hero story. The main character is, in fact, a coward. It emphasizes the brutality and absurdity of war."

    " Too much foul language and an intimate scene. The main character was not at all admirable and I couldn't relate to him. I read this book because it was the "One Book, One Denver" read, but I was not overly impressed by the selection (may have been selected because the book was written by a local author). "

    " thsi book started out with a strong and silent lead. but, for me, it seemed that he didn't have that much going on in his head after all. or maybe the war experience did it? hmm. excellent descriptives, though, of the fighting. "

    " A strong spiritual story of the emotions one goes through on the battlefield. Hopeless. Despair. Fear. All raw feelings. The only bravery is the debate to follow orders or not. A powerful ending and a beautiful first novel! "

    " This war book is unique for that genre because it tells the story of one enlisted man's fear as he is expected to fight in France in World War II. I read this for One Book, One Denver. "

    " This book is truly a masterpiece, and I predict it will have a long future in literature classes. Very controlled, concise writing that depicts the absurdity of battle. War without the glory and the hype, where the only clear impulse is the will to survive. "
