Very interesting (and excellent) cast. Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, Jeff Daniels, and Guy Pierce all step outside their general wheel houses and bring together a wonderful performance about a true chain of events that unfolded during World War II.

As a Red Sox fan I had a general idea of the story surrounding Moe Berg, but I was enlightened about several different elements of the story by the movie and even more so I was driven to do additional research and found out even more information about this unheralded American Hero.

If you're looking for an action romp this isn't where you'll find it. This is a movie that will capture your imagination and you will almost forget that this is all based on a true story.

This book was interesting and like nothing like what I thought it would be from the description. I have not read the first book in the series and it did not affect my enjoyment of this book. However, I will be going back to read it as I want to know how the story started.
The Crownless King captured my imagination, and I had a hard time putting the book down. I thought the characters were strong and courageous and they had some twists that I did not see coming. So that made it even better for me. I also enjoyed the diverse character backgrounds and the relationships that developed between certain characters (I have no idea how to say more without giving spoilers!
