Okay, I read about 15 pages and felt sick to my stomach. I can handle a war story/ violence, but is it going to be worth it?

It's something I prefer to see because it's something that appeals to me in a way that makes (or can make) a story interesting. Why is the character driven to such violence? How is their reaction to it? Does it change over time or does it remain static? Sometimes violence is necessary, but when it's gratuitous and there for no reason, it seems pointless as opposed to me not actually liking to read it.(less)
