Growing up in the 1950’s and 60’s, I had a steady diet of war movies. Let’s see  . . . on Saturdays at the Plaza Theater it was either westerns, war movies, or Elvis. It was a wonderful time to grow up!

I’ve never really cared to read war stories though. It was the action on the silver screen that I enjoyed.  

One of the mystery writers I found when looking for Grisham-like writers was Scott Turow. I’ve found some of his stuff to be too graphic (profanity & sex) but most I’ve read have been quite good. One of his latest strayed from his normal mystery/courtroom writings. Ordinary Heroes is a well written World War II story with an unexpected ending that I was drawn into. I’d recommend it – but – be warned it is about war, thus it is pretty graphic in places.

I gave it 4 stars at My Library Thing
