Interesting tale of war from a young soldier's perspective. The action is described well. I liked it.

The idea of this book is really interesting to me: a young man joining the war effort and his emotions going through that. I felt, however, it fell short of that and what I expected was going to be in the book. It still is a cool idea, following almost only one character over a one or two day period, but it took me a while to read because I just had no motivation to. Obviously this book is an American Lit classic and the writing is very good, the themes are woven in thick and there are many things to analyze for sure if you're into that. Overall kind of a drag to read but a good book to write an essay about.
