I enjoyed this book, but it is very much light reading, particularly for a war novel. Don't let the fact that WWI breaks out in the middle of the story put you off from reading it. You can make it safely through the battle scenes in this book even if you are squeamish about violence.

I really enjoyed this one. I can't wait to get to the next one in the trilogy!
