Book Review: "Parade's End" by Ford Madox Ford (Pt. 2)
Rating: 4/5 - Not as great as the opening volume, but definitely not worth less than a 4 overall... *** Volume 2, No More Parades goes deeper into the psychological state that war inflicts upon the characters, especially our main character. Tietjens struggles to move nearly 3,000 troops from Rouen to the front, obstructed by strange orders, corrupt supply officers, a French railway strike, and harassment from British Garrison Police targeting Canadian volunteers. Of course, Ford's presentation of war here is that difficulty will always be horrific when people's lives are on the line and yes, people's lives are definitely on the line. As amid administrative chaos and German shelling, a Welsh soldier bleeds to death in Tietjens’ arms. Tietjens has tons of guilt over previously denying him leave to confront his wife’s infidelity. This is reflective of his own position - he too has a wife who has been unfaithful but he cannot confront her because he too has been unfaithful. He didn't know this man's position and he was needlessly harsh to him, denying him one last possibility to make amends or break it off with her. He broods the anger towards his own marriage.

Book Review: "Parade's End" by Ford Madox Ford (Pt. 1)
Rating: 5/5 - A depressed masterpiece of love, loss and wartime terror... *** This is how it happened: Tweet by Me This was exactly how it happened. For my Why It's a Masterpiece series I took a quick reread of my copy of The Good Soldier, which is great because it's short and easy to read. (It's also incredibly depressing but you've read the article on it, you should know). I then thought to myself 'this can't be right...I never got around to reading Parade's End which is considered to be Ford's best work...' and quickly ordered it (it was only a couple of £ and so, nice and cheap). I didn't bother to look it up in any way, shape or form but seemed to assume it would be of similar length to The Good Soldier which can't be more than 150 pages.
