The Narrow Road to the Deep North: nothing wrong with it, exactly, but nothing to commend it either. Heroism in war is often an illusion. The trauma from war lasts a lifetime. Love is great but desire is inexplicable and maybe even destructive. We think of the other side as inhuman, but did you ever stop to think that they're people like us, too?
As I say, nothing wrong with it, but it was a little... flat.
