5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the movie, read the book!, December 6, 1998
By A Customer
Like many stories, Mister Roberts is best known as a movie, starring Henry Fonda, however, the book on which the movie is based is the far superior of the two. It gives more detail into what makes all the characters tick, and is a little less "sanitized" then the movie. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who appreciates military humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great "Sea Story", June 12, 2000
By

This is a fabulous story. Heggen expertly captures the monotony, the cynicism, the bravado and depression of life at sea. The story ranges from hilarious to heartbreaking, and it's sad Heggen ended his own life before writing again. I find it amazing that this book is not on the CNO's professional reading list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, yet has historical facts, February 11, 2001
By 
Christin (Toledo, OH USA) - See all my reviews
Mister Roberts had the right amount of amusement and sadness, which is the main reason I really liked it. At first I was not sure how I was going to enjoy it. The first chapter started out fairly slow, but this was just because it was an introduction of characters. The rest of the book was much clearer with this introduction. Throughout the entire novel there was a lot of humor. It was a fast read with all this comedy. I really admire Heggen's writing style because he incorporated wit with war. Heggen gave a more amusing account of the war than other factual book could have.
