Spoiler:

It was well written but the story was pretty thin, the whole middle section of the book, the war story was totally unnecessary to the main story I thought, I'm not sure if it was there to somehow explain Pete Bannings mindset or to somehow justify what he did but it didn't work for me. Basically he murdered "the wrong guy", I have that in quotes because even if he was the right guy it doesn't in anyway justify him being murdered. pete murdered a guy who had an affair with his wife, which technically wasn't even an affair for her because pete's was presumed dead at the time, not only that he made her go crazy and had her committed.

The book was depressing as **** as well with no light at all in it

No, not yet. I'll finish the book first, it's only 200+ pages but I'm stretching it out a bit since I have nothing to read after it
