Jacko seems to be the funniest character, especially on missions. I didn't laugh out loud, just giggled a bit. The imagination of the humor made me laugh.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑02 Feb 2019, 12:21 One of the best aspects of this book is the humor inserted by the characters. I specifically loved Jacko O'Brien and his unique take on humor. The best line I liked was when he said, "I’d be just as happy to swag down near the riverbank somewhere. I could sleep on a clothesline in a cyclone tonight."
What humor in this book made you laugh the hardest and which character said it.
If you want to be remembered long after you are gone, WRITE books worth READING or DO things worth WRITING about...

I forgot about that part, but since you brought it up again, I could see that it's not just Jacko who has the wits. Monica is an interesting character as well. Thanks for this!CHIDAMBARAM wrote: ↑16 Feb 2019, 20:49 The novelist has also weaved in elements of humor which adds to the interest like “I am happy to fight the whole German army but I am not sure I am brave enough to ask her” (pg. 95) to which Monica replies “I shall be following this fascinating romance carefully and if you don’t do anything about it in the future, you can forget the German army, I shoot you myself.”

Well, I think looking at thie threads here, I mist definitely say that ut attracted a lot of readers than the number of people being repelled by it. I guess the author did well.

" The doctors are going to have some fun pulling bits of metal out of you, though.” There are many more such humorous lines
