Summary: "O'Hara's Choice"
Comment: My advise: read the whole book (it is pretty good), but skip the last chapter. Compose your own ending. Believe me, your ending will be a better ending than the one the author penned.
Being a former Marine, I was satisfied with the treatment of the Marines, in general. The ending, however, was all wrong. It was as if Uris had died (which he did in 2003), and some anti-military feminist finished the last chapter for him.
You've been warned.

Summary: It brought a tear to my eye...
Comment: ...when I stopped to think of the time I wasted reading this trash! O'Hara's Choice was worth exactly what I paid for it...thank God I got the book as a gift.
I have to agree with "a disappointment"'s review. I expected a better ending and it crossed my mind whether someone other than Uris had finished writing the book.
It was a drippy romance followed by an unrealistic USMC twist topped off with a ridiculous ending.

Summary: a disappointment
Comment: Don't bother buying this book unless you feel you must read Uris' last book. Surprised to see it on the half-price table, I bought it from curiosity and finished it out of loyalty, having read 'Battle Cry' in the '50s and almost all his subsequent books. This book has almost no military action, an almost melodramatic plot, and (worst of all for me) the dialog sounds like people speaking in modern times. Having served with the Marine Corps, I found some of the sentiments and attitudes hoaky and the romance between the two main characters (this being a clash of strong wills) was wooden. You'd do better with Ayn Rand. Shortly after starting the book, I noticed that Uris died this year; I'm betting his secretary and a sophomore American Lit major finished it for him. This is a sad way to cap a fine career, one that brought me enjoyment most of my adult life.
