Some beautiful prose describing landscape and nature, and some excellent prose for a wrestling match, but the book falls flat, with so much of the story being centered on people reacting to news rather than the interesting news itself.

Also, seeing when this was published is kind of disgusting, with this being released after the end of WWI and the heroes at the end having regret because they aren't going to have enemies to take up arms against.
