A bit verbose, but it paints a vivid picture of the Pacific theater. Definitely a classic for a reason.

I struggled to get through this. The language was dense and the story moved slowly. It offered insight, though.
Aritra Datta –
A brutal and honest portrayal of war. Some parts were hard to read, but I couldn’t put it down. Masterfully done.
Nishit Kumar –
Not very engaging. It felt like it dragged, and I felt the author was trying too hard to be poetic. No thanks.

I appreciate the realism, but I found it depressing. Not my usual type of book, but I can see why it’s so acclaimed.

I had to keep a dictionary by my side. Lots of jargon but great story once you understand it. Worth the read.

I was expecting more. It was okay, but didn’t leave a lasting impression. It felt a bit overrated to me.

Mailer’s masterpiece! A must-read for anyone interested in WWII or the human condition. So many layers!

Could not finish it. It has great characters, but the topic is not something I wanted to spend my time on.

A raw and unflinching look at war. Mailer doesn’t pull any punches. It was a bit long, but overall a powerful read.

It was long but the book depicts the war beautifully and with very little filter. Recommended for war history buffs.

A powerful story, beautifully written. It gave me a new appreciation for the sacrifices made during WWII.

An intense and thought-provoking novel. The themes of power and masculinity are very relevant today.

The book has very colorful language. But the author potrays the raw emotion, fear and anxiety quite well.

Mailer’s prose is captivating, but the sheer brutality of the war scenes was overwhelming at times. A difficult, but important book.
