Book Reviews of The Guns of Navarone
Book Review: The Guns of Navarone
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to smile when I see people make so much of MacLean's lack of writing syle or prose or some predictability of the story. Come on folks, this is plain old action entertainment.....never meant to win literature awards. Just enjoy yourself like you do when you read Harry Potter. You're not reading great literature, you're reading a fine story that keeps you interested, is fast moving and often keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is why so many of MacLean's novels have made it to the screen. It's simply entertainment. You want great prose with your action? Step up to Stevenson, Dumas, Cooper or Sabatini.
"The Guns" is a great action story that moves quickly and keeps you interested all the way through. Despite some predictability and weaknessess in the writing style, just enjoy it for what it is.....a 20th century, WWII action story. Read it and have fun!
