Book Reviews of The Painted Bird
Book Review: etremely explicit description of the war and its effects
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't read a book so explicitly defining the war and how it effects the people. Kosinsky is brilliant with his use of words and descriptions, it feels as though you are watching a movie. I think it shows all the ugly and brutal sides of war, most which we'd rather not see, and how it affects human psychology but at times gets rather sickly.
