Regeneration by Pat Barker

4.0

I'm glad I slowed down a little bit with this one because I almost missed this weird wry humor that popped up in the oddest of scenes. I enjoyed that, though. And I enjoyed that, despite being a book scarcely over 200-something pages long, Barker was able to fully develop so many characters (Rivers and Prior were my favorites, although I'm very partial to Sassoon). I've never read a book that so uniquely blends truth and fiction so as to be plausibly real but undeniably fabricated. Maybe I'll actually read the last sequel, even though I didn't like The Eye In The Door that much.
