definitely love the anti-war situation; the main storyline really played out like a horror movie (in a good way); totally get why it’s on so many curricula. just found it hard to relate to and couldn’t identify w the characters.

One of my favorites in high school, read for my freshman Humanities class. Here are my notes from the time: "Amazing, both stylistically and because of the power of Trumbo's message and the main character he uses to tell the story."
