A review by angus_mckeogh
The Naked and the Dead: 50th Anniversary Edition, with a New Introduction by the Author by Norman Mailer

2.0

Overly long. Stretches of boredom and uneventfulness. Can really be summed up in two phrases. 1) The Fog of War - whenever there is actual fighting in this war opus. 2) Who’s my wife having sex with back at home? - whenever the characters are discussing their back story or not fighting (which is 88% of the novel). One of those “classics” which honestly just isn’t that compelling.
