Ordinary Heroes by Scott Turow

[BOSSHOG]

Interesting book about a man who finds his father's papers after the father dies and the son starts looking into his father's World War II career. Nice story, but a lot of pretty intense battlefield action and a little surprise for the son.

1. I enjoyed it

I can't rave about it but it was entertaining. Worth the read.

2. I just finished it, BOSS. I thought some places lagged

(the war scenes got a bit technical for me), but I did like the way Turow presented the whole story. He made the personalities come alive, and I mourned with some of them.

3. I like that technical stuff

but my wife just can't muddle through military books. It had a nice premise. I guess I relate to alot of that military stuff. Since I no longer do it day to day I got to read about it.

4. i liked that one

i began to suspect the surprise partway through and was so pleased with myself that i was right!
