“I read it 33 yrs ago and it changed the way I thought abt alot of things. That book has never left me.It is depressing but its message needs to be heard.”
“What did you think? I felt pretty devastated for days afterward. I mean to read it again, but I don't feel strong enough yet. That book is one amazing achievement.”
“ I read it last night”
“Yes, war is depressing, and war novels tend to be pretty depressing, but this one succeeds because it's so real and so immediate. As Cassie has said: it makes us re-think war.”
“I'm reading this book for English, and although I'm not done reading it, it is very interesting. It's really different. I'll never look at a war quite the same way. It's an excellent anti-war novel. It's almost like a creepy horror novel.”
“When I read this book in 1991, I often thought of Joe and how old he would be in that year. He seemed so real that I hoped he finally was dead. Not that I wish that on him out of spite, but that he was finally out of his misery”
