review 1: After reading one of the greatest war survival books of all time, Unbroken, it is very hard to not to compare both books and try not to be bias because they were two different wars, different era in our history and two way different endings. Hero Found is well written, but not superb. It is not a must read like Unbroken, but it is also not a waste of time or credit. The book has a high points and its lows, but overall, it is well put together. If you are reading this book and haven't read Unbroken yet, you must read Unbroken. If you already read Unbroken and thinking about reading Hero Found, this is not a must read nor a bad listen. I am being bias because I'm comparing the two books. Hero Found is a good story, but I wished he had more of his boyhood. Hero Found is like ... moreBand of Brothers with many central characters and tend to loose focus of its center.
review 2: A good story with a lot of interesting background in military history. I found it most unique that a German youth who lived through WW II would want to fly planes in America following the war. Even more fascinating was the fact that he ended up flying planes for the Navy in Vietnam. That was a strange odyssey to me. The book moved along nicely, painting a picture of Dieter and his comrades that was fairly vivid and engaging. A good read overall. less
