I enjoyed it, it's not exactly a light read considering the subject but it's well paced and tightly written. Its depiction of war and trauma may be triggering for some people.

Your experience may vary depending on the translation. Most English translations are based on the 1929 translation that made the odd choice of switching German slang and cultural references with rough English equivalents as well as trying to tone down some of the darker parts.

I read the 1993 translation which tries to be a bit more accurate to the original book, but does do the thing with swapping the slang around which comes across a bit odd especially earlier on where it's layed on a bit thick imho.
