I do not only follow the author's advice to rate his book but also my own tendency. I enjoyed it very much. It is not only a pleasure to read but in my view is very close to the actual situation with its historical background. The destruction of the shrine at the end adds a very pensive note.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2015
Verified Purchase
More interesting for it's depiction of a part of WWII I knew little about. The main characters are only mildly compelling. The story is episodic, seemingly drifting from one adventure to another. The book held my interest, but I kept expecting things to tick up a notch or two or three. It never does. I expected more.

Good tale. Drug a little in the middle but gave an accurate (if fictional) account of the defense of Rangoon from the air
