I tried to read Armada by Steven Wilson. Not sure if I could even get to page 20. What the fuck is a PT-155? What's an E-Boat or an F-Fighter? Now get me started on WWII smallarms, and I'll be typing all damn night with absolute glee. I love WWII firearms, but I know absolutely piss-all about vehicles, ships, subs, or whatever. Seems like he's just assuming that everyone knows what the shit he's talking about it.

I wrote a book that involved a Lee Enfield. I described its smooth wooden stock, the fact it's bolt-action, has long-radius aperture sights (granted not everyone might not know what that means, but they'll know it's a wooden-stocked bolt action from WWII which is the main thing), and so on. I described it and wrote about it as though the reader never heard of a 'No.4 Lee Enfield' before. It was the first fucking book I ever wrote and I knew this shit. It would seem he's written at LEAST two novels before this one.

My book was 5x8" and 226 pages if memory serves. Had about 5-6 chapters. Well the book I have here is 4 1/8"x6 3/4". That's 12.7x20.3cm vs 10.5x17.2cm. When I flip to the 226th page, chapter 17 is starting. Is it normal for chapters to be that short? I mean, that's like, what, 15 pages per chapter, and as stated it's a pretty short/thin book so only so much can fit on each page. I guess that's a non-issue though. Authors can make chapters however long/short they want I guess, but I'm just generally annoyed that I even picked up this novel. I love WWII history, but I'm just glad I got this thing at a discount; $3.99. I'd have been pissed if I spent $9.99 or more on this damn thing.

but what's the best novel on WWII?
