decent book, well-written, interesting pov. 

i appreciated the (brief) mention of environmental impact of the war. i also learned some historical things while reading this. 

there were quite a few stereotypes of the characters that were not great, unfortunately. i also felt my brain and eyes glaze over every time there were details pertaining to military equipment or anything like that. 

i don’t remember the movie very well but from what i do remember, the book is not like the movie, which certainly isn’t a bad thing!
