Saving Private Ryan takes place at the beginning on the beach when the Americans come into the beach in Europe. This book is very detailed and very entertaining. After seeing the movie witch I loved the book seem a little boring at times while reading. The mood of the book is perfect it makes you feel like your actually there. When they are in gun fights it's very interesting to read the authors point of view and what he thinks. My favorite part is when the two snipers are scoping eachother out ...more
I picked up this book on my way to the checkout desk of the library. At first I thought it was the book they based the movie on, but it turns out it was the other way around. I think the last time I read a book made from a screenplay was Return of the Jedi, back when I was in junior high.

this was a great book. i had already seen the movie when i read the book, but i couldnt put it down until i finished it. there was a different element i picked up from the story than of the movie. the story is about a captain and a squad of men who have been sent on a "rescue" mission, to pick up private ryan, whose 3 brothers have died in combat, therefore he is entitled to a ticket back home. the story is heart wrenching and emotional, and i recommend both the book and the movie.
This is the first book I ever read from cover to cover in 1 day. Definitely the best war book I have ever read. I would recommend this to anyone even if they do not normally read war books. The movie was excellent and this only makes the movie better.

I bought this book on our vacation to Cape Code, MA. I was reading it while crossing over to one of the islands on the Ferry. I started crying in public.
This book is terific! I feel bad for the young human beings that were in the war.
A lot of people died, they won the war!
