The Greatest Beer Run Ever by John Chick Donohue

The Greatest Beer Run Ever [Movie Tie-In]: A Memoir of Friendship, Loyalty, and War by John Chick Donohue
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is actually closer to 4.5 stars. I have seen the short summaries about this famous beer run on social media but to read the story from the guy that made the run was a lot of fun. I had no clue he got stuck over there for a few months.

Armored Thunderbolt: The U.S. Army Sherman in World War II by Steven J. Zaloga
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After a LONG time of starts and stops. I finally finished this book. Overall it was decent. It was very interesting to read about how a lot of government folks didn't listen to the feedback from the commanders in the field when it came to improvements for the tank.

This was a different kind of story from James Patterson. It was a nice change of pace from his Alex Cross stories and all the series type books he writes. It is set up to become a series and admittedly I might look for another one in the future.

Win by Harlan Coben
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was the introduction to a new character that has a definite super rich guy that uses his money for good, but he definitely has a bad/dark side. At times the story got a little confusing and that might have been because I was getting tired and I would lose track of what was going on.
