Best WW II book I've read in a long time. Excellent writing. A pace that won't let you go. Wow.

I really like the characters in this and how they compliment each other and the insight into the humility of the main character as a young man in a crazy war. I like it because while the adventures we’re good, it does feel more like it was about the people they met along the way and how they changed each others lives! Cool. Only took away one star because I often found my mind drifting off while reading but also I don’t think that’s the books fault hehe.

One of the most well-crafted stories I can remember reading. Full of painful ironies; Benioff is a master of dramatic tension and relief. The plot is impossible to predict, yet seems inevitable in retrospect. It is deeply satisfying from start to finish.
