As someone who does not like Timothy Findley’s overwritten and oh-so-clever prose, I can say that The Wars are indeed a good read- brilliant at moments. All Quiet on the Western Front and Three Day Road still remain unsurpassed when it comes to Great War novels if you ask me. ( )

A harsh and provocative look at WWI ( )

Enjoyed the writing style in this book a lot more than in pilgram. Story starts off pretty slow and gets more and more interesting as life in the war is described. The whole thing is a bit disjointed but was well worth the read. ( )

Quotations
Houses, trees and fields of flax once flourished here. Summers had been blue with flowers. Now it was a shallow sea of stinking grey from end to end. And this is where you fought the war.
