Title: Ambrose should stick to history, not writing
Review: At least it's not just me -- I was glad to see several other reviewers felt the same as I did. I read Band of Brothers after seeing the HBO mini-series, and was pleased to see that the characters were fleshed out in greater detail in the book. As I read it, I could not help notice what can only be characterised as mediocre writing. I was given Wild Blue as a Christmas gift, and am about to give up. The grammar and the bad prose are so annoying, I can not take it anymore. It's a shame -- the story and the people seem compelling, and the research seems to be there, but the writing would make my son's sixth grade teacher cringe. Several times I have thought to myself, "How on earth did the editor let this manuscript go to print?" As for the subject matter, it would be helpful to have included diagrams or cross sections, or a least demonstrative photos, of the B-24, to give the reader a better image of what the pilots and crew went through.
