It was OK and about 30 minutes too long. Amazing stunts and the ending sets up Part 2 quite nicely. Some scenes dragged a lot. If someone was in danger a sniper will solve the problem. Hope Part 2 is better and shorter.

"Based on a true story" so there's some wiggle room for all involved. I thought the child actors were extraordinary. Their facial expressions brought me to tears. If half of what was depicted in this film is true governments must get involved.

Very well researched but the author's very dry style of writing detracts from the book. It's as if he was writing an assembly manual for Ikea.

A well written page turner. This book deals with the individuals who participated in D- Day from German soldiers to English radio operators to French civilians and everyone in between. Their stories make Overlord seem most human and all the more so tragic.A well written page turner.

Seems all of our wartime presidents manipulated the truth, the Congress, and the people in order to pursue their agendas. All were criticized for bending the law and the Constitution to obtain victory. To expect any future president to NOT do these things is highly naive. Well written & researched.Seems all of our wartime presidents manipulated the truth, the Congress, and the people in order to pursue their agendas.

Could have been 15 minutes shorter. Tried to cram too many messages into the plot. "Coco" was much better.

If you are looking for a history of combat operations in Vietnam this is not for you. It explores the thinking processes that allowed our nation to be drawn into this tragic war.

An entertaining romp with historical figures thrown in. A page turner and a quick read. This too will be made into a TBS mini-series.

If you want to know all the behind the scenes machinations of this classic film, this is the book for you. A huge cast of characters, legal dramas , production problems & solutions are explored. Hard to believe it's been 50 years since the premiere.

A well made series with fine acting, a top notch cast and high production values. However, I was so uncomfortable & down after viewing this series. I suppose that was the intent but I don't think I'll view Season 2 when that shows up.

Even though we all know how the 1938 Munich conference will end Harris writes a crackling yarn. Couldn't put it down.

Good season overall but the series is getting long in the tooth. Big bad conspiracies are getting a bit old for me. I know season 7 starts this weekend but I don't know how long this series can continue. Seasons 1 & 2 by far the best.

Only read 3 chapters and I had to stop. Extremely dry writing. Seems to be more about Darwin's contemporaries than himself. Very disappointing.

Funny & entertaining. The guest appearances of famous pop culture villians was inspired. Well done. Probably good for 5 year olds and up.
