Title: Well-made and historically accurate
Product review: I gave this as a gift to three people this year, all of whom had read the book. It was well-received by all, but the one reservation my husband reported having was that he missed one of the plot threads integral to the book. Obviously a miniseries or movie based on a text will have differences--glaring or otherwise, and it's the prerogative of the filmmakers to change elements of the written version in the interest of visual effect. Not a new concept. Anyway, I would recommend viewing before buying, if possible (?), especially if you are a fan of the book. My husband, father, and father-in-law (the recipients of this gift) are all American history teachers, and they did like this miniseries, though they agree that nothing holds a candle to "Band of Brothers."
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
