I am a 77 year old, and my respect for the people who were involved in saving the world from the Axis Powers in WWII is IMMENSE. I didn't really start shedding tears until probably chapter 17. I had trouble reading in many parts of the book because I could not read through the tears. At this point, I have been reading the book since about this time yesterday, and am at the 3/4 point in the book. Hopefully, I will quit reading in a few more chapters and not read anymore until tomorrow morning.
I couldn't believe when I saw 54,000 Amazon Reviews, 85% 5 star and another 11% 4 star. However, I expect when I am finished I will confirm my present 5 star rating. (less)
