I've added the play script of "The Girl On The Train" (ISBN 9780573132131) to my books and noticed that nearly all the reviews refer to the novel, not

"This is probably the cheeriest war memoir ever. While Jünger occasionally remembers to throw in the the requisite "oh the horrors of war" comment, most of the time it is clear he is having a blast. Based on his other hobbies (travel, hunting, joining"
