I really liked this book, partly because I am WWII buff/thing/person/whatever-you-call-it, and partly because this book is so personal. Every word in this book is directly quoted from the veterens or children of the veterens (that's a really bad sentence but you get the point.) The accounts and stories that the veterens give before, during, and after the war are so personal and interesting, and very engaging. As you read, you might feel like the actual men of Easy Company themselves were talking to you. A great read, and a very interesting and entertaining view into the "other" men of Easy Company.

I read this book back when I was thirteen, but at Pastor Klat's urging decided to re-read it for Lent. I'm so glad I did! My vague memories of the book involved a Jewish uprising about shields, a sweet romance between Pilate and his wife, and a centurion named Cornelius.
Pontius Pilate is, shock of all shocks, a novel about the live of Pontius Pilate. Well researched, it paints a fascinating picture without getting to preachy, I'd recommend it to anyone, from curious Christians to skeptic atheists. It is a unique and insightful look into the life of a man who played a huge role in history, never to be forgotten. The fictitious form removes the tedium of a normal biography.
I think I will take Pasotr Klat's advice and re-read it every Lent, I can't explain it much better. Maybe next year.
