I know that Sherry mentioned she already had a post written, just not posted, but as it is already September (gasp!), and she is on holidays, I think this post should suffice for us to share our joys, frustrations (Laine), and insights that arose while reading this book. For now. Because if we don't talk about it now, we may never look at it again. Until the movie comes out of course, then we will have to make it a field trip! But certainly the persistent use of gory details to paint a picture of World War One, is very effective, and worthy of some discussion.
I thought I should share that I checked a lot of the history (ie. locations, battles, timeline) and they are all historically accurate (unless of course the person who authored all the Wikipedia articles, only used this book as a source).
Anyways, hope you can still remember the book. And in the meantime, happy reading of Sedaris!
