Book Review of The Guns of Navarone

The Guns of Navarone


I think I first read this in junior high. That's when I started reading MacLean. I think it's hilarious that for the movie, they changed Dusty Miller to being British, instead of American as he was written. Usually it's the other way around in books-to-films. Anyway, the classic story is really quite tense and it's one of those great, long-lost "ripping yarns." Bravo!
