Negative Positive
Title: Great story!
Review: I have to wonder if the reviewer from Publishers Weekly even read this book and its predecessor. I found both Trial by Fire and Battle Lines to be wonderful stories filled with great characters. The combat action is Trial by Fire is especially compelling, and the long opening sequence concerning the Marines' gallant but doomed defense of Wake Island is some of the best war fiction I've ever read. If you're interested in good World War II fiction or just plain good storytelling, you can't go wrong with this series.
Is the review positive or negative?
