I didn't enjoy the writing style. I agree with the general sentiment of other reviewers around the repetition. It felt more like I was reading a book about a serial killer than anything else. It wasn't an enjoyable read for me.

I read this quite quickly, and I feel like it's the sort of story that hits harder with each reread. I'll revisit it soon and see if my hunch is right.

As it stands, a dark story of WWI and the violence of tench warfare. An inevitable spiral you sometimes forget you're on the path of.
