4.5
A fantastic panoramic story that perfectly places us in the position of feeling like you’re really listening to an old man ramble on about his life and memories. You can see and feel the details, grisly or extraneous.
At times the pacing could be hard to follow and the descriptions/perspectives were difficult to stomach.
Overall, it challenged me and made me think deeply. I felt the historical context I was placed in and felt the author accomplished what he set out to do.
