Saving Private Ryan by Max Allan Collins

Private James Ryan wasn't any different from any other soilder but beside the fact he had three brothers in the war, he was dropped behind enemy lines into the brutal war going on in Normady with the 101st airborne infantry, while his three brothers were helping fight the war else were. But little did he know that his three brothers were all killed in action. After the invasion of Omaha Beach, Captain Miller and his small group of eight men are assigned to go deep into the middle of the war and tell Private Ryan about his brothers and bring him back home, and even though they save him, all eight men die trying to rescue one soilder.

I really enjoyed this book it was well written, and realistic. The author kept you at the edge of your seat though out the whole book and the characters are what made the book even better. And the book was loaded with all the usually stuff that makes a good war novel, guns, death and F-bombs. when I first started reading this book I thought it would be different from the movie but the only thing different was the movie was filmed and the book was written.

I would probaly recommend the movie over the book, even though the book was good, because they were very similar and you could spend two hours watcing the movie and the book takes like a couple days to read.
