I find that the book, 'The Wars' by Timothy Findley for the most part is hard to read and dull. However, even though the book seems to have a very grey style of writing, read boring, I still think that it has some redeeming qualities. Such as when the complex relationship that Robert forms with people, such as Taffler. And even though there is a fair amount of bigotry, especially against people who do not met the standard of what is normal, these relationships often shows what both character's personalities are like as well as what is typical of society at that time.
I find it interesting how much information the reader can discover from just comparing the ideals and lives of the people from other times and from their own, and their friends lives.
That's all for now.
