First book, The Notebook, finished. The book is cruel and dispassionate. Never referring to anyone by name except Harelip, which also isn't a name but the only real "nickname" too. Everyone is a profession or relation. No familiarity. It dispenses cruel news in a matter-of-fact way. No emotion. The boys, Lucas and Claus, who have grown up in the midst of war have learned to totally tune out violence and depravity.
