It's rather a 3.5/5.
The book represents the ugliness of the war on the soviet side. Stupid orders, brave (or stupid?) soldiers with no chance of remaining in life and prison-like conditions.
I managed to read it in full only on the fourth try, as it contains minutious descriptions and interpretations and some situations are portrayed in a very long and boring way.
