Customer Reviews

WW II

When I read Raspberry One, I thought that what it did was incredible. I truly experienced the second world war through the eyes of Hildy and Nick. The book succeeded in a vivid portrayal of the real world events of those times. I think that the author succeeds as well in the fact that he doesn't make the story seem larger than life. Instead you are able to relate to the characters and the stress that they are going through.

About two airmen of a TBF Avenger

This is a very good book about two airmen on a TBF Avenger, a torpedo bomber of WWII, and are sent away on the U.S.S Shiloh (fictional). They do return home but one loses his hand and the other serverly injures his leg. The book is good but the end is kind of iffy. I liked this because it shows the horrer of the war.
