This book was the basis for one of my all time favorite movies and it meant a lot to my friend Greg and his Dad. I wanted to read it and it did not disappoint. It had all of the comedy of the movie but also had some musings on the nature of war and death that were not present in the movie. Those chapters made it a well rounded novel.
10/10
