Summary: Finished it at 3:30 a.m.
Review: Over the course of two evenings I finished this 500+ page novel. I am a slow reader and never thought I could read that many pages in two nights. The second night I could not sleep until I finished and read until 3:30 am on a work night. This book is something else! What a ride! What a pleasure it is to find a book that completely entralls you.

Rating:
Summary: OUTSTANDING!
Review: Probably the best book I've ever read--or will ever read. Whether you're like me and grew up just miles from Evansville, or have never heard of the small Indiana town, you won't be able to put this one down. Whicker's detailed accounts are breathtaking and suspenseful.

Summary: Terrific!
Review: Simply put, this is the best "Can't put it down" thriller I have ever read. Absolutely spellbinding!

Rating:
Summary: A Page Turner!
Review: Strong characters, well-researched material, intrigue, and a great WWII story, based on fact, describes this incredible book. Mike Whicker is a master story teller. Invitation to Valhalla is a page turner from beginning to end. The story of Ericka needs to be on the silver screen.

Summary: Uncle Adolf?
Review: The book is well written but it bothers me that Hitler is portrayed as almost a sympathetic character.

Rating:
Summary: Grand thriller
Review: The second half of the book is impossible to put down. Every chapter leaves you anxious to know what comes in the next. Very, very good. I hope we see more from Whicker.

Summary: invitation to valhalla
Review: This book went into details much like Tom Clancy's do. I became totally engrossed in the story after a slow start. Whicker wove facts about WWII that I had never even thought about. Having gone through one of the LSTs as a child, having a father who worked at the shipyard here in Evansville made it even more fascinating. The German viewpoint was especially interesting.

Summary: A pleasure
Review: This is the best book I have read in a long time. All the things I crave in a good book were here - excitement, suspense, a sense of history. I was taken back to a time about which little has been written, the fight going on at the homefront during WWII. I didn't want it to end. Bravo, and thank you, Mr. Whicker.
