I didn't like. Prose was fine, plot okay. I just didn't like it. Also didn't like the anti-war theme

Anti-war themes are lame. It'd be like writing an anti-slavery book in 2016.

I hate the bring up the six gorrilion, but going to war to stop genocide doesn't seem unreasonable at all.

Love the book. It's on my top five for my "segway into lit" list.

I'm pretty hawkish too & read it before I knew about the whole Metallica thing. So eat it all you basement fascist boys and peaceniks.

The final couple pages when he goes on that huge anti-war tirade are so disturbingly written. I should re-read this book soon.

Interesting, albeit repetetitive. The further one reads, the better it gets. The last final pages—the ‘speech’—were unnecessary and trite, and cheapen the whole experience. The message one knows beforehand. Nonetheless, it is worth a read, although it certainly is no masterpiece.

I read this in high school and some of the lines stuck to me so hard.

Should be mandatory reading for teenagers desu.
