4.5 stars. Incredible writing and a razor-sharp torching of all classes and cultures. So good.

*2.5 stars.

Unfortunately, disappointed. Gore for gore's sake just never does it for me. Still, concept alone will bring me to try another Nick Cutter before abandoning him.

What an indictment of the horrors of war and the effects of war on all humankind. It looks at heroism and valor and courage in a very unique way and it's about WWI, not WWII, which tends to dominate such historical novels. I really enjoyed this book. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.

Immersive and beautifully written. So happy to finally have gotten around to reading Atkinson. Can't wait to explore more.
