Waltz With Bashir

I read this one in a couple of hours. I have to say that I was let down by it. I felt like through the whole book I was waiting for something to happen, and it never came. There were some violent scenes of course, but I know veterans. In fact both of my great grand fathers were in WW2 and my Grandfather was in Vietnam. Ive talked to them about the wars, so maybe the book didn't impact me the same way that it would impact people who didn't already hear war horror stories first hand. I also play a lot of War Based video games, such as the call of duty series. I know video games don't come close to the realities of war, but they are still violent enough to make an impression. I suppose what I'm getting at is this: If Waltz with Bashir is your introduction to the horrors of war, then its going to shock you, especially the photos toward the end. However if you've already spoken with veterans or acquainted yourself with warfare in some way, the novel doesn't offer any new information.
