1.0

It's a potentially very funny true story to tackle, and tackling it from the perspective of the Emunis inspired. However the execution is lacking: the charcters and humour are one-note, but worst of all is the inexplicable decision to split the book into "letters from the front" "letters from family" and "letters from command" make following events and jokes both confusing and repetitive.
