August 28, 2006: I bought this after reading 'Winds of War' and 'War and Remembrance' - I was so impressed by Wouk's ability to storytell. 'Youngblood Hawke' was a cinch to get into right from the get-go and it kept on moving. Wouk's ability to weave subplots combined with his attention to detail made this novel a wonderful read! Every time I put the book down, I found myself wanting to know what would happen next and I'd pick it right back up again.
