While I love the book, I do think there was something lost in audiobook vs physical book, but I liked it so much I’d be interested in seeing the physical book and flipping through it!

This one took me a while to get through. The subject matter was very real and very upsetting but it was also very fascinating to learn all about. I knew that WW1 heralded a lot of innovations in medicine and reconstructive surgery, but I wasn't really aware of some of the finer details. It was really quite an amazing read despite the gory and depressing details, which I think were absolutely necessary anyway.
