Rendition Conducive To Books The Last Convertible

Anton Myrer's beloved, bestselling novel of America's World War II generation is as powerful now as it was upon its publication. An immediate classic, it tells the story of five Harvard men, the women they loved -- and the elegant car that came to symbolize their romantic youth. It is also the story of their coming-of-age in the dark days of World War II, and of their unshakable loyalty to a lost dream of Camelot, of grace and style, in the decades that followed. "The Last Convertible is a gripping tribute to a way of living that immortalized the "Greatest Generation."

She assurred me they were, which dumbstruck me, but looking back thirty years later, I think even my generation in their own cynical way was just as naive. No matter the age, innocence is a function of youth, and Myrer captured that. I recently reread it for the historical content and wasn't

I wasn't sure in the beginning because I felt it kinda dragged and there were too many characters to follow. But I eventually became invested in them and wanted to know what happened.

Great book. I laughed and shed a few tears. In the book you follow the lives of 5 Harvard men. You meet them as they are starting there first year of college. They are normal kids. Going to school, having parties and driving to football games. Then their world turns upside down when a little thing called Pearl Harbor happens. The book spans a 30 year time period. You follow them through the war and after. Marriage & kids. It's interesting seeing how things were then. I didn't quite

I liked this book. Read it a long, long time ago. A book I need to read again.

While parts of this book were transcendent - wonderfully written, evocative, heart-warming and heart-wrenching - the other parts dragged it down.
