Secret Honor By W.E.B. Griffin
W.E.B. Griffin is "probably the best man around for describing the military community"(Tom Clancy). Now he brings his special flair for combining high drama and real heroes to a crackling new adventure in the World War II series that began with Honer Bound and Blood and Honor. In 1943, an undercover American OSS agent penetrates Argentinian high society-and befriends a Nazi pilot with ties to a plot that could bring the war to a standstill : the assassination of Adolf Hitler.

If you dont like slow and jumpy books this in not for you, This book is mostly talking and jumps between characters for most of the book. If you can withstand the slowness and jumpyness this is a very good Militay book.
ReplyDeleteYou've shared with us things that other people might not like about the book, what are some of the things that are making you keep reading? Do you like the dialogue and the "jumpyness"? Does that bother you?
ReplyDeleteThere is no Jumpyness between characters talking in the regular scents, The book has Jumpyness between factions. For exampale the Americans will be talking about somthing, then cliffhanger on their conversation then skip to a bunch of Germans haveing a different conversation. Other then that, it is a good book. It has good historacal information, cool military stuff. Each faction has good dialogue, but I dont like the jump between faction point of view.
ReplyDeleteNow that I have entered the middle of the book there is no longer any jumpyness, and the story is now begining. Finaly the book has ceases to confuse me.
ReplyDeleteKurt, I've heard some of these criticisms of Griffin's style from other people. I'm glad it started to make more sense as you read; how is it now that you're farther along?
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean by farther along? farther along in the book?
ReplyDeleteWhen I said farther along in the book, I meant that I have read deeper in the text.
