Ordinary Heroes by Scott Turow |
|
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.

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.
