I've been looking at the goodreads reviews and I suspect you either love it or hate it.
I can understand entirely the bit about not wanting to get down to the real grittiness of war but isn't that exactly why Owen and Sassoon and the like wrote their poems? Isn't it unfair not to recognise that?
Excuse me if I;ve asked this before, but have you read Dominic Hibberd's biography of Owen?
