What does /lit/ think of Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo? I found it really disturbing and yet very captivating... the way the author writes his characters and his prose style makes it a very in-depth and fast read. I read it in a day. I liked it, even though it was such a sad and achingly poignant book. Good stuff.

Its basically MUH MERICA and other kind of drivel, for the emotionally retarded.

Literally untrue, its first and foremost anti-war, and then below that a call for the universality of humanity.

I read it in highschool, but it has always been up there in my favorite books. The chapters where he focuses on his nerve endings to figure out what happens to him, and his "speech" via morse code are my favorite parts. Also the perpetual dreamlike state he exists in is compelling.
