Hi, this is my first Book Review. I really hope people enjoy this, or i would have read these books for nothing (not really).
I apologize if these books have already been reviewed, I am new after all.

Book: The Wars by Timothy Findley
218 pages

Genre: War.

This is the story of Robert Ross, a solemn 19 year old Canadian officer who went to World War One. He left everything after loosing everything....his sister and his dysfunctional family was deteriorating. Thus, he set off to Europe and found another hell.....one much worse than the one he left.

I found this book to be very dark....instead of glorifying war....it made it look very sadistic, the true intent and look of war. Simply a novel which makes war look extremely chaotic. Nothing less.

Main themes within this book would be displaying the horror of war, as well as Robert's loss of innocence. An effective novel at displaying the truth of war.

I really don't recommend this book for a leisure read, unless you like to engulf yourself in the sad, sick sadistic concepts of this book....I really don't recommend it.

PERFECT CPT NOVEL!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ENGLISH.
