I read this book years ago and it immediately became a favourite. I hadn’t read anything about the WWI before and was shocked by the misery and death of trench warfare.
Rereading it now was a different experience. It’s still a powerful book but I felt less emotionally engaged. Even the main character felt more distanced, but perhaps this was intentional.
I also found some of the writing to be a bit (dated) convoluted and lost my way with descriptions of trench or tunnel arrangements.
Overall though it’s still a wonderful book and will always hold a place in my heart.
