First and foremost this is an anti-war book. But it’s also semi-autobiographical and sci-fi. It’s weird, and dark at times. You can tell it’s written by a man who had seen horrific things during the war. Is this something I recommend everyone read? No. It’s a book that you can’t really take lightly and have to take breaks from, as it is depressing. Overall it was good, but I won’t read it again anytime soon.
