[LizzySiddal]

I've read it 3 times. It is quite simply the greatest novel ever written and I'm not saying that because a similar statement once won me a bottle of wine!

I nominated it as my desert island book. Why? Because it contains the whole of human existence: love, hate, war, peace. Sweeping panoramic battlefields contrasting with intimate scenes of great tenderness. And lots of philosophy to ponder upon.

It's not simply a book. It's an experience!
