I rate D-Day: The Invasion of Normandy, 1944, 3 out of 5 stars.Ītkinson, Rick D-Day The Invasion of Normandy, 1944, 202 pages. If you enjoy learning about history and don't mind little to no excitement then I would recommend this book for you.

Overall I enjoyed the content about D day but didn't really like the bland, boringness of the book. If the author had somehow made the novel a little more exciting and suspenseful, I would have liked it a lot more. The author kind of just listed all the facts and what happened in chronological order and didn't have me on the edge of my seat. I didn't really like how there wasn't much excitement. One of my favorite parts of the book was the pictures, it showed first hand what it was like out on the battle field and gave an even more in depth look to what happened. I love to learn about history and wars and this book was perfect for my interest. I really liked how well I was able to understand what was happening because the author explained every little thing so well. It opens our eyes to see what really happened and how much planning and effort went into pulling this miraculous feat off. The book also revealed much that happened that not many know about. This famous battle was the key to defeating the axis powers in Europe.

D-Day: The Invasion of Normandy, 1944, explained exactly what happened on June 6th 1944.
