3.5 stars This series came in a preview box. Usually something that makes me crazy..because it is books sent by a book seller or publishing house. Their hope is that you won't return the book (return postage is free) and then you are stuck with the books.. Well I saw this series and thought...this looks cool! SO I took them out of the book and told our director "Let's Try these" This is my first book so I will still go with cool!
I don't know how submarine people do it! I like blue skies and fresh air. I am a teeny tiny bit claustrophobic so...not the life for me!! I think it is cool they should inside a German U Boat!
