loved it, quietly devastating all through-out and heartbreakingly loud when it needed to be
This is one of my favourite books ever. Not only is it just a well written war story with characters and events that send you through a whirlwind of emotions.
Please if anyone sees this and hasnt read this story read it.

Knyga šiaip įdomi ir tikrai įtraukianti tik kad ji apie karą ir aš manau kad knygas apie karą reikia norėti skaityti kad jos tau patiktų o aš dbr nlb norėjau apie kara skaityti tai ne ant tiek daug mėgaujasi knyga kaip mėgaučiausi jei iš tikrųjų norėčiau skaityti apie karą

“A word of command has made these silent figures our enemies; a word of command might transform them into our friends. At some table a document is signed by some persons whom none of us knows, and then for years together that very crime on which formerly the world’s condemnation and severest penalty fall, becomes our highest aim” (166)
'I am young, I am twenty years of age; but I know nothing of life except despair, death, fear, and the combination of completely mindless superficiality with an abyss of suffering. I see people being driven against one another, and silently, uncomprehendingly, foolishly, obediently and innocently killing one another. I see the best brains in the world inventing weapons and words to make the whole process that much more sophisticated and long-lasting. And watching this with me are all my contemporaries, here and on the other side, all over the world - my whole generation is experiencing this with me. What would our fathers do if one day we rose up and confronted them, and called them to account? What do they expect from us when a time comes in which there is no more war? For years our occupation has been killing - that was the first experience we had. Our knowledge of life is limited to death. What will happen afterwards? And what can possibly become of us?'
