Rated as "trashy holiday read" and as my enjoyment in such a mindset. You have to ignore the war porn and obvious propoganda. A rating based purely on literary merit would be lower.

2nd read
I read this book back in the mid 90s and it’s just as good the second time around. It’s easy to see why this is a classic! The audiobook was very well done!

I read this many a years ago after being inspired to read this after watching the movie. I loved the movie - not the book so much. I did enjoy the cat and mouse game which was more drawn out in the book but I was lost in all the technical terms. Still worth the read - maybe before you see the movie though.
