Lots of realistic pain and terror but interspersed with wonderfully tender and funny moments of beauty that capture your heart.

One of the most incredible books I've read about war - certainly one of my favourites of the year. I'm so sad to leave these characters behind, I'll miss them very much. An outstanding book.kat_treasure's review against another edition
