This was full of really interesting ideas regarding the psychological effects of war, toxic masculinity, and the responsibilities of physicians. Rivers was a really interesting character to me, I enjoyed reading his thought processes behind the conflict between his duty as a participant in the war and his duty to protect his patient's health. While there were many lines and passages that stood out to me, the book as a whole was not always super impactful and since it was not very plot heavy it definitely dragged at points.
