It's an unforgettable book but incredibly bleak. The week I read this I had to read like a fun crime novel every night just to rinse my brain out. As for extreme disturbing literature, it's a great example of something with artistic merit.
Johnny Got His Gun (1939)
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. --Publisher.
