#48 "The Absolutist" by John Boyne
This book is absolutely brutal. Unlike reading Atonement or Regeneration, both set during World Wars and dealing with similar issues of sex, scandal, sexuality, and the mental tradgedy that is created by war, there was nothing good in this book. No happy moments, no character you wanted to love and support, no jokes that disrupted the just terrible, aweful, no good, very bad life that Tristan Saddler has.
