5.0 out of 5 stars
Great WW2 adventure novel,
By John (Redmond, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iron Coffin (Paperback)
Wow!The author has gone to great lengths to protray the U-boat crew as protagonists without making the Allied characters into mindless, cruel automatons as lesser skilled authors may have done. This is not a simple task. Iron Coffin is a great novel and sure to thrill any WW2 or adventure reader. There is great attention to detail and the entire novel rings mainly believable - although I think there may be too much painting of the U-boat officers as excessively anti-Hitler. Perhaps, in hindsight, this was necessary to justify the plot and ending. Buy this book and read it. You won't be disappointed.

I did not put this book down for two days. It was impossible. From one chapter to the next, it pulled me in more. A MUST READ!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Unbelievable story!,
By
This review is from: Iron Coffin (Paperback)
Wow! That is my best description of an amazing, captivating story. I was intrigued with the jacket cover describing a German U-boat operating in the Gulf during WWII, but never expected the story I read. The characters were so vivid and unique, on both sides, that it was hard not to like any of them. The setting was so well written that I felt myself twisting and turning though the Louisiana bayou. If you enjoy believable action, unforgettable characters, a story that is hard not to enjoy, and good writting, this is a novel for you.
