I am not normally a fan of WWII books, fiction or otherwise, but I couldn't help getting sucked into this one. The characters are flawed and interesting, and their arc over the course of the war is the best part of this book. I will say that since the action follows the characters' military careers, (signing up, training, deployment, etc.), the story felt a little monotone. There wasn't one main conflict building to a climax and a resolution, which is fine because that wasn't the point, but it might be good to know that going in. That build comes in the characters' development and relationship with each other.
