I picked up this book some 5 years ago and it's the only book I have ever put down and never finished. I liked the WW1 parts a bit.

Céline's prose is pure poetry really. Not too sure how one can translate it at all. Unique style.

3/5.
Brilliant at times that part with the man who gave up his life for that girl was heartbreaking as was the botched murder attempts. It felt protracted at other times, needlessly descriptive of events and too long for the message it was trying to convey.

Thats just me
