Reviews

[William · Rating 3 out of 5]

A difficult book to review not terrible but not great either some stories are too long and some are too short and are quite predictable. Another thing I found with the book the writing style was dry in places making it easy to put down, however an ok read if your looking for a book on the Falklands war to read.

Pretty good, but slightly disappointing. Not sure what the problem was just can't put my finger on it.
