Second to the nth. That book is simply wonderful. You want to believe the story he tells.

Man, I had to read this for a WWII unit in history class back in high school...
I loved it.I even named one of my cat's at the time Tjaden. I wanted to name one Katzwitzke (or however the heck you spell it), but my sister wouldn't let me (instead she was named Willow, after the Buffy character --go figure).
It was even better because my teacher had to keep telling us that we coudn't try and BS him by watching the movie instead, because some guys had tried to do it a few years before, so in their essay test one of the questions asks about a dramatic moment for the main character (or something like that) and they're all talking about some scene with a bird (never seen the movie, just going on what Stutz said), and the scene isn't anywhere in the book. They just buuuusted. It was one of his good stories --not best, but good (and the man has a ton of 'em).
