I hope you enjoyed your stay in Asia. Yeah, I think it's better to avoid books that make you upset. The sensitive parts were quite disturbing for me, too.

I like that this WWII experience was witnessed through the eyes of a foreigner, so this is was a very interesting book for me to pick for review. Thank you for stopping by.

Thank you for commenting. I hope you enjoy war stories, too.

I loved my time in Asia and would go back in a heartbeat. I still have friends that are there and am able to keep up with what is going on over there. I agree it is best to skip books that will make you upset, I appreciate you putting the trigger warning in the review, not everyone thinks to do so.

Johnny Oldfield and his little adventures sound very exciting. The author has done a good job here by adding humour to a serious and heart-rending story of war and captivity.
Thanks for this wonderful review

Without the humorous parts, I may not enjoy reading this book. It's kinda depressing.
Thanks a lot for stopping by!
