My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, what a book. Well written, nice pace, realistic and made me think how well I could handle the situation that started it all for the folks in this book. I enjoyed it. Part of me wants to become a doomsday prepper but part of me is a realist and I realize that I am starting way to late for this kind of thing!

This was a fun interesting end to the trilogy. At times it was a little slow and other times a little predictable but overall a fun read!

This was a fun easy to read change up from my normal action/adventure books that I tend to read. It has some interesting details that start to fill in the gaps from the movies. I enjoyed it.

Flags of Our Fathers by James D. Bradley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, what a fun book to read. I knew a lot of the basics of the flag raising at Iwo Jima but I never knew a lot of the other details around this historic event. This was very interesting to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like WWII and the Pacific Theater I recommend you read it.

1776 by David McCullough

1776 by David McCullough
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It has been a long time since I have read a book about the revolutionary war and this was a really informative and fun book to read. The only thing I wish it had was a couple of simple clear maps that showed some of the marches and battle locations etc that I could have referred to while reading it.

At times reading the quotes from the letters and diaries of the participants was tough since their syntax and grammar etc were so much different back then.
