This was a pretty good book. More for reading to pass the time or a cuddle-up book. I liked the characters, emotionns, and situations. About half way thru, I KNEW IT, but how could he? The humor was a great plus. I liked the little things that came thru and the war heroes angle. I would read this again, but like I said, more for passing the time.
