The voice of the narrator, the militarism, and the pacing of the novel really reminded me of All Quiet on the Western Front. It's slow paced, but also a quick and enjoyable read, spending quite a lot of time in the narrator's head.

Slavery tagged because of "the help," as a subaltern class that is essentially enslaved.zoereads's review against another edition
