BlackStar Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Hey everybody . I was just wondering if anybody had read these 3 books, and what they thought to them: Not So Quiet - Helen Zenna Smith Up The Line To Death - Ed Gardner Accrington Pals - Peter Whelan I have to read these 3 for my exams next year and I was just wondering if Others thought they are good? Thanks Quote
bubbleprincess Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Oh I haven't read those 3 novels but I have read All Quiet on the Western Front which is a pretty good WWI novel as well. Quote
Ophelia Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I haven't read any of those but have read a couple of Pat Barker's books and am currently reading 'Testament of Youth' by Vera Brittain, all of which I would recommend for anyone interested in the First World War Quote
sirinrob Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 If you want a totally off the wall acount of the WW1 the no look further than 'The Good Soldier Svejk' by Hasek. It is very funny but alaso raises questions about the war and the institutions involved. Already on my reread pile as i9t is so pertinent Quote
