Found it slow-paced at times. Waugh’s prose is beautiful, but the narrative lacked urgency. An okay book overall.

Waugh at his best! A brilliant and insightful account of a complex historical moment. A must-read for anyone interested in the period.

A compelling read about a tumultuous time. Waugh’s perspective is unique and thought-provoking. I couldn’t put it down.

Enjoyed Waugh’s wit, but the book felt a little detached from the human cost of the war. Good, but not his best.

Waugh’s writing is as sharp as ever, but I found the subject matter a bit dry. Still, a worthwhile read for Waugh fans.

I struggled to connect with the characters. Waugh’s style didn’t quite work for me in this setting. A decent read, but not a favorite.

A mixed bag. Waugh’s wit is present, but the book felt somewhat detached from the human suffering. Interesting, but not entirely satisfying.
