Not your typical war story

The characters in this book are rich, interesting, and wily. I say wily because at points in the book you hate them, but then they change, and you grow to love them. This story really makes you think about people differently. It's written with great subtlety and almost lyrically - very beautiful, poetic and quotable in places.
If you want a fast read, this book is not for you. If you only like happy endings this book is not for you. If you don't like experimental fiction, this book is not for you.
