You do not find them much better! A delightful book, full of humour and with a great anti hero as MC.
The clever ways our good soldier tries to escape battle (and at the same time he convinces everyone he cannot wait to go to the war) are really entertaining. The social criticism is effective as it is brought in a humourous way.
Reading this novel, I found it sometimes hard to realize it had been written almost a century ago.
