This World Book Night copy was passed onto me. I thought I had read tis when I was younger but the minute I started it I knew I hadn't. It's written from the point of view of a froup of young german schoolboys who sign on to fight in WWI. The descriptions and emotions are a joy to read even though the subject matter is so awful. These boys have nothing to go back to no school, no jobs, no wives or girlfriends. They are forced to grow up so quickly and so violently.
A must read
10/10
