Rated by eatyourgreens:

I'm not sure why Pynchon fans are so down on this book. I really enjoyed it. A hell of a lot easier to get through than Gravity's Rainbow.

The Longest Night: The Worst Night of the London Blitz

by Gavin Mortimer
Finished on February 9th 2008
Rated by eatyourgreens:

Fascinating stories from one night of bombing during the Blitz. Good when he relates events through the words of eye witnesses, but let down by some sensationalist writing ('London braced for the coming apocalypse') and very lazy fact checking - the RAF brought to its knees after 300 planes were shot down by the Luftwaffe in September 1940? I don't think so - the real number was more like 15 or 16.
