This book highlighted the true experience of veterans in world war 2 and very heavily focused on themes of appearance vs reality.In my opinion, the ending of this book was unsatisfactory but I do understand that it was a result of personal growth of the main character Francis Cassavant

This book was too short for it to actually have an impact on me. That pretty much sums up why it's rated lower than it could have been. It is a book that is supposed to make you sad and feel something and when I read the final line I did feel a bit emotional but the book reached it's climax way too early for the book to stay in my head forever.
