The setting is dark: mud, death, ... and the story describes the boredom awaiting the spikes of violence. Not exactly a teenage book. Yet it was very engaging, because the character was doing things. Everyday things and everyday concerns in an otherwise extraordinary (dark) setting. And each time he rose up the trench to fight, my guts would tighten, because I'd come to care about this guy. | |
