I realized I haven’t done a book review in over a year, and I don’t know why. Probably because, looking back over last year, I had a hard enough time keeping up with blogging life period. Anyway, a few people have asked the name of the book that enticed me to join my neighborhood book club. Here it is:
All I have to say is AMAZING!! Wow, I couldn’t put it down, which is unusual for me when reading nonfiction. It is a fascinating story of a former Olympic runner who becomes a bomber in the Pacific Theater during WW II. Let’s just say if you have ever seen to movie Mission of the Shark, times it by 10 and that is only the first 1/3 of this book.
To say I was profoundly touched, is putting it lightly. My biggest disappointment was that I hadn’t read the book in time for the meeting so, although I really enjoyed the discussion, I didn’t understand it fully. I will definitely recommend this to anyone, and it will become part of our library. I want my children to read and understand the “unspoken” horrors of the war their relatives fought.
A heartfelt thanks goes out to all who have and do serve in the armed forces of this great nation.
