The Caine Mutiny is an excellent introduction to his style, then you could move on to his sweeping WWII novels, The Winds of War and War and Rememberance, and his novels about Israel, The Hope and The Glory. His lighter fare, such as Marjorie Morningstar and City Boy, offer great views of the social aspects of points in our history. Wouk offers great characters and historical details, stories that sweep you up. They are more about the coming of age of their characters as they move through important points in our history than a commentary on events, but if you like Leon Uris you will enjoy Herman Wouk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872225494241033745.post-83917517852768312742012-01-05T14:56:21.533-08:002012-01-05T14:56:21.533-08:00i like reading reviews about leon uris books. for ...i like reading reviews about leon uris books. for me he was a master that can and never will be surpasssed. exodus, mila 18, trinity, QB V11 u name it. all master pieces depite the fact that they were writte a long time agoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872225494241033745.post-88214695995657864532011-12-08T11:30:37.525-08:002011-12-08T11:30:37.525-08:00very good review, i think i want to read this book...very good review, i think i want to read this bookQuoteshttp://idezetek-quotes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872225494241033745.post-5617137748284718442011-04-13T02:56:33.911-07:002011-04-13T02:56:33.911-07:00Hi..sorry for not relying a bit sooner I have been...Hi..sorry for not relying a bit sooner I have been a bit busy. Leon Uris is damn hard to beat and I have not really found another writer of historical fiction like him. <br /> My suggestions would be to give Edward Rutherford and James Clavell a try. Clavell wrote King Rat which is very good, and especially Shogun. Shogun is over 1000 pages long and is a mighty epic of feudual Japan. I highly rcommend it.<br /> Rutherfrod has written London, The New Forest ( which I particularly liked ), Dublin, New York, etc. They are of a distictive style and still readable. London is quite reasonable aas it traces the history of London through several families from Roman times to the Blitz. That is alot of history so I hope that it will satisfy you!!<br /> Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I had hoped to update for often but I haven't had the time. So come back againsome time!!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872225494241033745.post-25558754372625747302011-04-11T22:31:53.871-07:002011-04-11T22:31:53.871-07:00I am a huge fan of Leon Uris and have read all of ...I am a huge fan of Leon Uris and have read all of his novels and a few many times over. Could you recommend another author with similar style? <br />BTW great reviews of all his novels!!! I have a few Gore Vidal books but they are relatively boring reads compared to Mr. Uris. <br />Thanks, <br />JeffAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862415244228074634noreply@blogger.com
