Part one is excellent and full of events/characters. This one contains one event with in depth observation of war time characters and behaviours. Gonna start next part straight away.

What did you like most about Parade's End - Part 2: No More Parades?
The book retains an intensity and a sense of tragedy throughout. The constant shifting of time and place within the narrative is disturbing in a way that adds to the story. The continued evocation of the phrase "no more parades" is an elegy. Ford can convey a comic and ridiculous side to his characters and their society without undermining the horror of war and its machinations.

A Different Kind of Soldier.
I enjoyed Part 2 of this series more than Part 1. I think it's because Ford showed some of the same events from different points of view and the storyline became both more subtle and more complex. As the action moves to Northern France, Tietjens is shown to have real worth and ability. He is able to deal with bureaucratic regulations and administrative difficulties to send new recruits up to the front properly equipped. Yes, his Christlike status is becoming ever more evident but he still wishes for General Campion's cup to pass from him. New depths are also revealed in Sylvia's character and she remains the biggest enigma of all.
