Birdsong is probably in the Top 20 of books I have read this decade. Harrowing, but quality.

A good read this, though generally I don't rate Faulks much at all. Has to be said that certain of the detailed wartime sequences seem to have been lifted right from historian Martin Middlebrook's The First Day on the Somme but Faulks dramatises well and for the uninitiated there's a definite 'Saving Private Ryan' shock factor about the trench and battle scenes.

Dunno quite what the modern day sub-plot was about, seemed a bit underdeveloped and pretty superfluous...what you think, Macca?
