A young man, flung into war, wakes up to the above situation and while reliving his life, struggles with the horror of his predicament. It's more like a horror novel than a war novel, considering the condition of the poor man. I enjoyed this read but didn't love the ending. I felt like I needed more closure. And I'll tell ya' what, on a personal note - I maybe shouldn't have read this just one week before I go in for back surgery. I'm not comparing that to what the young man in this book woke up too, but it would be a nightmare for me to wake up next week without the ability to move my arms and legs! So, if you are facing any kind of surgery, don't read this book until after!!! ( ) Stahl-Ricco | Dec 21, 2023 |  ) baronvoncoolio | Aug 18, 2023 | And my legs! I can't feel my legs! I used to have legs, but now I have NO legs! And my face! I can't feel my face! I used to have a face, but now I have NO face! Oooohhh my life is so sad now! War has given me a fate worse than death and no means of escape! I used to have a lot of boring memories that I will endlessly write about with my non-hands, but now they are all dreams, and my life now is a NIGHTMARE! Oh my godddd. Whyyyyyyy. I am anti-war now. This could happen to anyone! Hark, my story, it is so sad, realistic, and relatabllllleeee. AvANvN | Mar 27, 2023 |

HTML: This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered - not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives?. This is no ordinary novel. This is a novel that never takes the easy way out: it is shocking, violent, terrifying, horrible, uncompromising, brutal, remorseless, and gruesome...but so is war. Johnny Got His Gun holds a place as one of the classic antiwar novels. First published in 1939, Dalton Trumbo??s story of a young American soldier terribly maimed in World War I - he ??survives? armless, legless, and faceless, but with his mind intact - was an immediate bestseller. This fiercely moving novel was a rallying point for many Americans who came of age during World War II, and it became perhaps the most popular novel of protest during the Vietn Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
