Birdsong

Author: Sebastian Faulks
Stars: 2
Review by: ddlesmom


This book took off like a shot and I thought for sure I would devour it.  It got extremely slow, picked up again, got slow again and dragged to the end.  I found myself skipping whole paragraphs and not missing the story at all.
 
From Amazon "As the young Englishman Stephen Wraysford passes through a tempestuous love affair with Isabelle Azaire in France and enters the dark, surreal world beneath the trenches of No Man's Land, Sebastian Faulks creates a world of fiction that is as tragic as A Farewell to Arms and as sensuous as The English Patient. Crafted from the ruins of war and the indestructibility of love, Birdsong is a novel that will be read and marveled at for years to come."
 
I just didn't see it.
