Book 56 "The Eagle Has Landed" By Jack Higgins

Adding to my past reads over the last several months is a book that I found in a small Minnesota Used Book Store. I struck up a conversation with the owner and he showed me a couple of books by Jack Higgins. The one I ended up buying and reading was a book called "The Eagle Has Landed"

This was a World War II story of a last ditch assassination attempt on Churchhill from the Nazi regime.

The book had its moments. It wasn't my favorite book, but had enough meat for a plot to keep my interest. I think what eventually lost me was the tardiness of the action. The reader knew from the very minute they picked up the book that there was going to be some blood shed action, so why delay with the eventual? Interesting story for what it's worth. I read one comment from a past reader, "best two star book I've ever read". I would agree. But, if you are a World War II nut it's worth a read.
