Title: It's the writing
Review: Nothing wrong with the story, but if you react to writing that is extremely clumsy (George Lucas quality) this is a very painful read. It is adverb-heavy, full of turgid explication, plenty of "flashing eyes", "warm chuckles", and lip biting as well. On the other hand, if you like the formula, it is a fun read; nothing wrong with WW II, as a template.
