The Guns of Navarone (review)

                                     The Guns of Navarone

                                    By Alistair Maclean

Praise for Guns of Navarone:

"Action sustained at high pitch. From the outst the is a feeling of suspense... an insistenly gripping tale" Scotsman

"Its strength comes from the speed of its narrative, its vivid creation of tensions, and its power in handling descriptions of action."  Evening Standard

"Could hardly be bettered" Sunday Times

Twelve hundred British soldiers are isolated and waiting to die on the small isand of Kheros, off the Turkish coast. All these lives could be saved if nly the vigilant, savage and catastrophically accurate guns of Navarone could be silenced.

Navarone itself is a grim iron fortress, manned by a mixed garrison of Germans and Italians. To Captain Keith Mallory, skilled saboteur and trained mountaineer, falls the task of leading the small party to scale the vast, impossibe precipice of Navarone to blow up the guns.

This book is just simply amazing! It's just written like a movie script; the action, the language, 
and the atmosphere is just a dead ringer for a Hollywood Blockbuster. Besides being a war novel it's such a thriller it will make you lose track of the time and just keep turning the pages.

Defenitely recommended for anyone 13 years and up and who have guts for tons of violence and gore!
