I first bought and read this book back when the movie came out, but lost it quite some time ago. I'm glad to have it on my shelf once again. Better then average adaptation of an original movie screen play. Several scenes that were not in the film and characters are "fleshed out" a little better. A few discrepancies regarding things that would never go over in a military program, especially one involving officers, but all in all good, light reading.

Your classic story of a nobody becoming a somebody--and the events that happen in between. The novel gives you a more solid backround of the characters that the movie does not. A definite keeper on my list!
