I'm reading it now, slowly to enjoy it better. Now I'm during convoy attack. Played my Directors Cut to see how it goes along with the book and it's quite good, but the book gives soooo much more immersion, you can feel it, see how it all worked, how it was done, what they were thinking.
Long desc. of weather, the sea, eating (I'm always hungry), holding your breath, jokes among the crew and long moment of contemplation and boredom... you cant show all that in the movie. Worth of every 650 pages. Red October book was also far better.
