Interesting. A little existentialist but can be read as a simple love story.
Packed and solid, and Pratchett all the way through. Very tightly written and with both the humor (social and otherwise) and touches of every day horror. The book is all about the hard questions and choices on the part of Johnny Maxwell, the protagonist. His life isn't easy, but it's not quite as tough as some of his friends' are, it's a great story about making uncertain choices in a world where real wars seem like games and games seem like war. What is real? What isn't? And how does one make choices in those situations where it's harder to talk or ask than just act? The copy we have is one that Terry Pratchett signed over to my eight-year-old son, it's going to be a great read with him.
Not happy to say the least, but amazingly written. Scary to think about the impact that Hitler had on the lives of "ordinary" Germans, as well as the destruction wrought by Allied carpet bombing.
This book was an interesting look into how a man sees women. I, being a woman, found that part quite interesting. It was also surprisingly humerus. I would definitely read it again.
As someone dealing with infertility, I cried after reading this. It's a pretty accurate description of what can happen to a marriage while going through the infertility journey. It was a good quick read, I enjoyed it even though the subject matter made my heart ache. I would say it gives hope... which is rare these days.
