They Called Him Marvin is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by Roger Stark. I have to admit that I am one that will judge a book by its cover, was intrigued with this one, and was excited to get my hands on it. I was far from being disappointed. The writing style is unique and refreshing. It did take me a chapter or two to get used to it. I could not put it down. This is one of those reads that toyed with my emotions and found myself needing to keep my tissues close by. It was interesting to read the letters between Dean and Connie. It was heartbreaking to read but gave a glimpse of what people went through those times in history. The author does not hold back in telling of the tragedies that were witnessed. I found the book tells about an important part for this generation and what they endured. Should never be forgotten.
They Called Him Marvin will be getting a very well deserved a five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading historical fiction, specifically those surrounded the era of the World War II. I would love to read more like this from
Roger Stark in the future. I am interesting to find out where else he would take his readers to next.
I received a paperback copy of They Called Him Marvin from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
