The first two books of this trilogy are among the best narrative World War II histories. They capture not only the broad, strategic story but also the day-to-day, village-to-village and platoon-to-platoon fighting. Stephen Ambrose has a well deserved reputation for excellent WW II narrative history. Rick Atkinson tops Ambrose as his strategic explanations for both sides of the combat and his historical research down to the smallest units shine through. These are very readable books and I expect this third book to shine as bright. hide

I like this book. It's aimed at young adults, but like the Harry Potter books, it works for adults as well. It's not overly intricate, but it's very entertaining and the pacing is fast, you want to keep reading to find out what happens next. If you are looking for something to read over the weekend, I'd recommend this hide

I absolutely LOVE this book. I find it totally Hi-Larious! It's something that I fall back to whenever I start feeling a little down.

The Klingon's and the Federation are both vying for the right to mine dilitium from a sparsely populated planet. The planet's residents have their own plans about what to do with both the parties. It's a musical, and even though I don't really like musicals, it is roll-on-the-floor-holding-your-gut funny. hide
