A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Flying Start - Hugh Dundas

Hugh was a fighter pilot in WWII. He mostly flew Spitfires, and he details his experience with them here. He was involved in the Battle of Britain and the campaign in Italy. He tells a lot of anecdotes and personal stories. 

I don't have a lot to say about this one. The writing was pretty good, and I found the stories interesting. I recognized some of the names in there, and Hugh was honest about how he felt about going up after being injured. I did enjoy the addition of the letters at the end. They brought another layer of personal experience.

I liked reading the details of Dundas' experiences. He doesn't omit his disappointments or fears. The end was super abrupt to me. I had to go back and read it again, because I didn't expect it to just end like that. I'm going to give this one a Good Book! review, because I enjoyed the stories and the honesty.
