Patrick K. O’Donnell; Give Me Tomorrow

This Week: Patrick K. O'Donnell on Korea and George Co. 3/1

I actually hear this book before I read it. The audio production was a dramatic, heart felt and touching performance. I was captivated by it and the writing style of this book brought it to life. This is defiantly one for the shelf. I knew I had to do an interview for this one, so without further delay........

Give Me Tomorrow : The Epic Story of a Legendary Marine Unit in Korea

An epic story of valor and sacrifice by a legendary Marine company in the Korean War brought to gripping, cinematic light by an acclaimed historian.

“What would you want if you could have any wish?” asked the photojournalist, looking expectantly at the haggard and bloodied Marine before him. The Marine gaped back incredulously at his interviewer.

“Give me tomorrow,” he said, as the photographer snapped one of the most iconic pictures of the Korean War.

After nearly four months of continuous and agonizing combat on the battlefields of Korea, such a desperate yet simple request seemed impossible, and for many men of George Company, or “Bloody George” as they were known-one of the Forgotten War’s most decorated yet unrecognized companies-it was a wish that would not come true.

Blackveil by Kristen Britian - "The story is lost in the dark wood"

I do not know how many of you, like me have waited for the next thrilling episode, chapter and book of this wonderful story. As Feb. 2011 came 'round, I was excited because it was finally being released! I got it, but I think the author lost this story in Blackveil.

After 300 pages and 2 other books (read in the mean time just to keep my sanity), I have yet to find more than 2 scenes that held my attention. This wonderful, exciting story has turned to a romance novel. A romance novel that hardly even follows the main character at that. I keep waiting, and waiting. Flipping ahead just to see what the future holds, and sadly, it appears not much.

We are used to long waits from the Kristen Britian, 4-7 years at a shot. This as been acceptable to me because the final result was stellar, though most every time I had to read the other because I had forgotten what it was about. This one completely missed the mark with no turn for the better in the near future. I'll muddle thru and offer a final review, soon. If anyone else is sharing my misery let me know.
