The Good Soldier by Nir Yaniv
5.0
I have received an ARC via NetGalley and I am voluntarily providing an honest review.
HA this was hilarious!! A sci-fi spin on "The Good Soldier in the Great War", I won't lie I got roped into the book because of the cover! This comic read had me laughing aloud and chasing my husband as I told him what had just happened last!
"The Good Soldier" takes Hanlon's razor ("Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence") and starts slicing and dicing at the Orwellian totalitarian regime. There seems to be a commentary here on wars where soldiers don't know where they're going, who they're fighting, and why, if only I could put my finger on it....lol. It's like a mashup of "Starship Troopers", "The Great Escape", and "No Time For Sergeants". I only wish there was an audiobook so I could listen to it on road trips!
