I tried reading this book before bedtime and it gave me horrible anxiety and I couldn't fall asleep for ages. It's not even that it's a very graphic war story or anything, but the book is just imbued with so much tension. It's really well done. Buut I can't say I especially enjoyed the experience of giving myself a panic attack for 200 pages, so I'm filing this under “well-written but I'll probably never read it again.”
