Hilarious, yet has historical facts

Mister Roberts had the right amount of amusement and sadness, which is the main reason I really liked it. At first I was not sure how I was going to enjoy it. The first chapter started out fairly slow, but this was just because it was an introduction of characters. The rest of the book was much clearer with this introduction. Throughout the entire novel there was a lot of humor. It was a fast read with all this comedy. I really admire Heggen's writing style because he incorporated wit with war. Heggen gave a more amusing account of the war than other factual book could have.

A great "Sea Story"

This is a fabulous story. Heggen expertly captures the monotony, the cynicism, the bravado and depression of life at sea. The story ranges from hilarious to heartbreaking, and it's sad Heggen ended his own life before writing again. I find it amazing that this book is not on the CNO's professional reading list.

Mister Roberts

One of the (If not the best war plays). Touching and humourous. Truly a maaaad play.






GOT ANY FULMINATE OF MERCURY?

After recently watching Mister Roberts again on DVD, I was checking the credits and decided to finally track down this book. It turns out it was just the screenplay (with a list of props and scene designs included to help stage the play). While I was at first surprised, I was not disappointed. This makes an excellent addition to my film library. A great screenplay of a great film. Got any fulminate of mercury?
