This is probably a book outstamding. The only problem is that the sample contains 3 Foreword pounds. . . . In short, can you read a few paragraphs of the book, but a few pages. . . . . . . . . grr Rating: 1 / 5

This book was OK. There were many boring parts. That was certainly not the book 5 stars, praised by all. Band of Brothers was much better by far. I was disappointed in my expectations, difficult-to-book control. Rating: 3 / 5
