2008-08-31 Mystery not history

I bought this book to read on the beach and it was the perfect holiday read. Ths story carries you along at a good pace and has a good mystery story woven into it. Overall I enjoyed it alot but I only gave it 3 stars for 2 reasons;
1. It lacks description or reasoned thought upon WW1 beyond GCSE history.
2. But more important problem for me is it reads a bit like The Victor Book for Boys with the hero (in Matt Braddock style) dashing backwards and forwards through no man's land and never being hit by a bullet.
