review 1: Great book! I loved the insight into the first paratroopers. I had known about their experiences primarily on D-Day, but hadn't given much thought into the establishment of the division. It was a bit hard to get into because it kept bouncing around to introduce all the characters, but once I was in, I couldn't put it down. ***SPOILER*** I will say that it was a good plot line, but I felt the twist was rather obvious and it was stretched well beyond when most people should get it. I felt the son's character would be smart enough to figure it out earlier.
review 2: It took me well over 100 pages to actually get into this book and I did find myself skimming over some of the factual details when it came to battalions, CO's, and squadrons. Honestly, I couldn't keep... more them all straight. There were parts of the story that I couldn't put down and others I couldn't wait to get over with. This book does make you think about the WWII generation and how courageous and dedicated Americans were. I would recommend this book but it definitely could've been shortened. less
