This book gives us a fantastic insight into the First World War, it epitomises the pity of this terrible time and shows that war can affect anyone at any time. I can guarantee that anyone who reads this novel will be deeply moved by it.

I thought that this book was brilliant. It had all the things a good book needs, and more. The trench scenes were brilliant, the description was great, just one problem... I hated the fact that it kept jumping to different times. I had just got into the beginning, when all of a sudden, I had to read another story to continue! It would have been ok if it was jumping forward, then back, but not in each of the stories!

However, this book was great, but I don't intend to read any more of Sebastian Faulks' books!
