Title: Long, Detailed, but Worth the Time Invested to Read
Review: My chief rave is that the book really does immerse you in the action. You can feel yourself in theseat of the sonar officer on a sub or the radar officer on a ship. The naval action kept movingforward unerringly.My chief complaint is some of the excessive detail which adds bulk to a bulky story. Do I really care what model torpedo is fired every time oneis fired? I also fault the weak subplot of alove story during wartime. It just wasn't allthat interesting. Of all the campaignsgoing on, I found the ground war in Europe the least interesting from the point of the reader. It lacks the suspense of the submarine stories. Itlacks the speed of the air war. It lacks the intrigue of the intelligence war.The story is not perfect. There are some definite loose ends with the finale. SometimesI kept wondering when some of the characters were going to come back to take their bows, and theynever did.
