I think Pat Barker is a great writer, and Regeneration a very good book. If it suffers at all it suffers from the non-fictional aspect of her characters: which is part of the task she set herself - we know so much about the WWI war poets that some seamless intergration is difficult if we're all looking for the anomalies. She's good enough that I got beyond that very quickly; but I know it has been different for others.
It was the vomiting that pointed you there, wasn't it?
