From Here to Eternity by James Jones

5.0

Wow, what a story. I always assumed that Catch-22 was my favorite war novel because it was so darkly funny. This book is, in some ways, funny, but it's even darker than Catch-22. It's like that book but maybe half as funny and twice as upsetting. But it's great, and it's a journey, and the ending is so satisfying and appropriate for the story. I can see that some people might be turned off by the length (800+ pages) but it's really worth going through that journey with the characters.
