book absolutely rocks.
Its amazing how a detailed account of a war through one man's eyes can be so touching as well as an eye-opener.
I saw the movie last night ( got the vcd from a friend).
the book is better (as in most cases e.g da vinci code) but that doesnt mean the movie is bad...done in a wonderful way...incase anyone wants the vcd do let me know.
hope you enjoy the movie incase you wanna see it on the big screen.
