Birdsong

I have just finished reading Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks and am so confused!!! Not sure whether I enjoyed it or not. I could happily have given up on it several times but persevered to the end.....what a strange book. I can't see the first part appealing to men as its a love story but then it is really one for the men when it gets on to the gory details of the war and then the last part when the granddaughter appears seems ...well just odd somehow! Has anyone else out there read it and enjoyed it ...or not? Is it just me or has anyone else felt as I do. I have never read a book before that I couldn't say whether I liked it or not and I have read sooo many books - thousands possibly. Interested in your comments.

Bye for now
