Book Review: regeneration
Summary: 3 Stars
Regeneration depicts the psychological horrors and effects of war on soldiers during WWI. The main character, Dr. William Rivers, is effected as well because he is a psychiatrist who treats soldiers sent to the Craiglockhart War Hospital. His exposure to these scarred men makes him reconsider his own standing in the war. Rivers becomes attached to these men and their traumatizing stories, but his job is to restore the soldiers and send them back to the trenches to die. This novel not only follows the lives and changes of traumatized soldiers, but the effects on the Doctor who treats these soldiers.
