"Greatest Generation N. Jack Kleiss was one tough cookie. Much like my own father, born 1908 on a Wisconsin farm with 9 or so siblings. When Jack passed away in 2016 at age 100, he was the last person, I believe, to have participated in The Battle of Midway So far we're just learning of Jack's early history, education, marriage and such." — Sep 26, 2026 07:02PM

"So far the protagonist, a WWII soldier in the UK and his platoon, has come across the Brideshead mansion, which 20 years ago he had quite a fling with. The 85 years old writing is a tad difficult and the odd names the English use for stuff causes many look-ups. But it's an easy enjoyable read, unlike the insane (literally) writing of Virginia Woolf." — Sep 26, 2026 07:13PM

"It's reading as good as any big publisher science fiction book. Not seeing any misspelling or other errors. The book is as good as any I've read. We'll see how it ends. It's heading for at least 4 stars." — Sep 17, 2026 07:17AM
