Pearl Harbor

Summary: A good look at the Pearl Harbor battle
Review: Despite some of the reviews that I've seen, this is a really good book. The people where portrayed accuratly, and was historically correct. The Japanese where protrayed as honorable soldiers, Roosevelt was protrayed well, and was very exciting to read. Even though the storyline is based on fiction, it was a very good and exciting read.

Summary: Mmm..
Review: I enjoyed the movie, Pearl Harbor, and expected to find the book just as entertaining. Randall Wallace's imagination is amazing, but way the words were written and formed brought down my overall liking for the book. Pearl Harbor had a wonderful plot and story, but would've been far better if not for the lack of vocabulary and word usage.

Summary: Great screen-play!
Review: Most people don't know this, but the book, "Pearl Harbor," by Randall Wallace was the original screen-play of the motion picture. Needless to say, it's not just any old novelization--It's the original! If you liked the movie, you owe it to yourself to sit down with this book and read it. Wallace's writing style makes the story very rivetting and keeps the reader in constant anticipation.

Some people say the love story was a bit excessive and far-fetched. I agree. However, it does not take away from the extravagancy of the story of the bombing of Pearl.

Summary: Peal Harbor
Review: The book Peal Harbor is a great Inspirational and meaningful story that I've ever read in which the story touched me deeply. It is a story that follows Rafe and Danny from their child hood in Tennessee through there courageous battles. The suspense of the story is unbelievable. Rafe has trouble reading and spelling but the bond between the tows of them prevails over all. Later in the story Rafe goes to war will he make it out alive or will the battle over seas take his life? This book is also an action filled story, from the battles over sea, to the dreadful battle in our very own Pearl Harbor, and the bombing over Japan. This is a great book that teaches you how war can effect you and what it does to people in war or some how connected to it. This is the best historical fiction book that I've ever read.

Summary: Pearl Harbor
Review: TITLE: Pearl Harbor AUTHOR: Randall Wallace PUBLISHER: Simon & Schuster REVIEWED BY: Barbara Rhoades

BOOK REVIEW: The story was well-written and related to people growing up in the depression who were scarred by the events of World War I. The main characters were young boys when the story opened. They were the best of pals – like brothers. Each grew up to become aviators in the United States Army Air Corps. They always helped and watched over each other as the events of their lives led up to Pearl Harbor where they fell in love with the same woman.

Mr. Wallace’s story was historically incorrect in two areas. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Japanese Fleet, remained on his Flag Ship in the Sea of Japan rather than with the fleet attacking Pearl Harbor. The other incorrect historical reference was that the United States did NOT declare war on the Third Reich at the same time as Japan but rather this event occurred three days later.

I would recommend this book for people who enjoy historical love stories. Jay O. Sanders was an excellent reader who held my interest and I finished the book in two days.
