All those guys had names
By A Customer
Having read this novel through several times...one of the most poignant, if salient, points it makes is that the fellows with Private Ryan defending the Alamo all had names and hometowns. They all had mothers, families, and were as anxious to get through the war as anyone else. This excellent book also fills in a lot of the missing details that for some reason were edited from the movie. For instance, we see the Miller's squad drive away in a Jeep... then they are walking. In the movie, so much happens that it is easy to overlook this gap. Also, when Wade is shot, the book explains much better how it happened. In the film, you have to wonder why Wade didn't stay behind instead of Upham. For those of us who have seen the film over and over, it's likely we'll want to read the book over and over too. And that's part of the joy in this book. Great job, Mr. Collins.

An interesting piece of military fiction
By coinman
I have not seen the movie that this book is based off of, but it is a well-known movie so I was interested when I saw this book at a yard sale.
I found it to be a quick, exciting read, but typical of military fiction. Early on, you are introduced to several members of the group, yet few of them make it through the first action. After that, the main characters continue nearly unharmed, except for two who are killed. It was somewhat surprising that nearly all of the group were killed in the final battle, but it was not surprising that Upham survived while Miller died. Nor is it surprising that the Germans are repelled in the end.
One slight problem I had was with the ending. The battle is nearly over, but there is still a little fighting going on when the American reinforcements finally show up. That in itself is somewhat ridiculous, but what I really found pathetic was the manner in which the book had them show up. The way it was written, it sounded as of the reinforcements simply ambled in to say hello, rather than advancing to help in the battle, as you would expect reinforcements to do. Tank cannons and machine gun fire are not exactly quiet, and even in a war with those sounds around you constantly, soldiers would have some reaction to hearing those sounds from the exact area that they are supposed to reinforce.
Also, the author forgets some of the things he writes and contradicts them later on. For example, as another reviewer mentioned, in one of the first scenes, Miller cuts the backpack straps of a young soldier to keep him from drowning, and the book specifically mentions the pack falling to the bottom while in the water, then a few sentences later Miller is dragging the soldier onto the beach with those same backpack straps.
Despite these problems, the book reads fairly well and is very interesting. It is short and a quick read, yet it does not feel overly rushed.
Overall, this is a book with some noticable problems, but it is still worth reading. The profanity is annoying, but you almost expect it when you read a military novel. Not having seen the movie, I cannot compare the book with it. If you enjoy miltary fiction, then you will probably enjoy this book.

A very good novel. Well worth a taking a look.
By Bob Baker (JasonVhees@aol.com)
I'll have to echo the earlier comments of the readers who caught the glaring error of the 82nd Airborne Division patch versus the 101st Airborne Division patch. The red, white and blue patch of the 82nd, has the white letters of "AA." This stands for "All American," which is the division's name. The black, white and yellow patch of the 101st depicts an American bald eagle. Their Division is known as the "Screamin' Eagles." Once again this is a minor error but not to the personnel who have served and are currently serving in these proud, elite fighting units. I was surprised by that error appearing in a novel associated with a motion picture that went out of it's way to be so realistic. One final error was the description of the engines of the P-51 Mustangs that appear over head near the end of the novel. What made the P-51 one of the most successful piston-engined fighter aircraft in history was the combination of American design mated with a Rolls Royce Merlin engine not a Packard. I may be wrong but I don't think a Packard engine was ever fitted into the P-51 airframe. I believe only a Allison engine was initially tried. These kinds of details would be lost on the unitiated but there are enough of us out there who know the difference. I do like the extra detail the author is able to reveal to the reader. I had seen the movie first and then I read the novel. For me this was the best way to enjoy both the novel and the film. The novel was exciting and fast paced. For me it was hard to put down. It was a graphic and frank account of men in war. What the men in the novel did and said is put before you in a tough, gritty manner. War literally chews up and spits out the young men of our countries. To tell the story any other way without the guts literally spilling out almost on the reader would be a diservice to the men who fought and especially those who died.
