          <body><![CDATA[THE LAST WAR is my favorite type of novel--it is like a dream, a painting, a photograph--provoking thought, beauty, and doubt. The prose is beautiful, impelling the mind to see and the heart to feel. The dialogue is such that it could be our own--if it were we in the place of the characters, if we h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/82078398">more...</a>]]></body>
