I read this several years ago and I remember enjoying it. It was dark and frustrating - what would you do if trapped in your own body?

Also addresses the brutality of war as one on the outside might not understand.

What I thought of the most while reading it was the footage from the movie version that was used in the Metallica video for "One"

Meghan Ooooh! I've always been curious to know more about the footage in the "One" music video.


Matthew Yeah, the video for One is basically a trailer for the movie of this book.


Jennifer Darn it, Matthew got to it before me. Yes, JGHG was the inspiration for Metallica's One.
