From: St. Adalbert Category: Books Date: 14 November 2007 Time: 03:03 PM Review: The good soldier Svejk bears a striking resemblance to time travelling fool Baldric. The book starts out good, but once Svejk finds his regiment, endless anecdotes, military inefficiency etc. makes one glad to reach the end. Good thing Hasek met an early death.
