I may be extremely biased because Saving Private Ryan is my favourite film of all time! I remember I watched it in a local cinema five times and I can't begin to count how many times have I watched it on TV. I was 15 at the time, and my interest in the events of the Second World War was just stating to grow.

I liked this book a lot, it really taught me what the beaches of normandy were like. Also I learned how gruesome it really was when they were fighting. I would've liked the book a little more better if kit went into the background of the main character more. But other then that I rate it 3 stars.

Saving Private Ryan is one of the best war films of all time, in my opinion. This book conveys the story in a different yet still heartbreaking way. We get to see deep on the characters' minds and feelings. I read it right after watching the movie but I still was heartbroken over the end.

“War educates the senses, calls into action the will, perfects the physical constitution, bring men into swift and close collision in critical moments that man measures man.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson) Most screenplays (and the consequent play or movie) are based on novels; this novel is based on a screenplay.

'Saving Private Ryan', by Max Allan Collins, follows Captain John Miller on his search for Private James Francis Ryan during World War II. The novel begins with Captain John Miller on a boat on his way to storm the beach at Normandy, France. He gets off the boat and is immediately shot at by machine gun turrets. He makes it to the beach and takes cover and watches as many of his fellow soldiers are shot. He manages to fight his way up the beach with some other soldiers and take out the machine g..more
More than just a war story, although readers will find plenty of war in the pages. This is the story of a platoon searching for a young man who is the sole surviving son in his family. Along the way the group of soldiers learns a little about war and a lot about themselves.
The movie is one of the best ever made. Period. However, this film novelization is nothing special. The writing is mostly bland, but the story is too good to give the book fewer than three stars here. Lucky author.

My impression was that the film production company wanted a 'novelization' tie-in to boost the overall takings for the film. Part of the merchandising and all that. They needed it out fast, so they got the first person they thought of, or a friend of a friend to write it - quickly, gotta get it out fast - and they didn't really care if it was any good.
Such is the result. The only good bits are those from the script of the original movie - which everyone would agree is a classic, one of the best..more

I have really enjoyed watching Saving Private Ryan more than a few times over the years. It's not a true story, even though it really feels like it should be. This book is based on the film script - but which version? I. Thinking not the final one. l'm also not sure if it was just that lots of detail was cut out film or just that the book format allowed for elaboration on events. There were some little parts of the plot that lost me. Not sure if that was because the memories of the film distract..more
A group of soldiers under the command of Captain John Miller go behind enemy lines on a journey to find Private James Ryan, whose three brothers have been killed in combat. In the middle of WWII, the group runs into many obstacles that they have to face in order to save Private Ryan.
I really like this book because I like how the author expresses how he wants you to see the war in own words. I also like how he made the book sound so real that you start to question if the events actually happened.

I'm just about done with the book and it was great. It was a bit quick paced but that was fine- it's a war novel, what do you expect? I grew attached to the characters- only to have multiple just die. I didn't cry- but felt rather sorrowful (simply because I'm not much of a crier). I really enjoyed what I've read and especially the fact that our characters can be dislikable and make bad desiccation at times- alike real humans.
EDIT:
I finished the book. It was great, again- see above

I liked this book a lot. It was exiting the entire time, there were depressing times such as when guys in the squad would die. I really do recommend this book to people who like war and action. People who cant handle death and gruesome things even in books should not read this book, there are a lot of gross parts, especially in the beginning.
This book was truly a gem. It was a random find at a thrift store for 20 cents. I own the film soundtrack and it makes the story come to life. I enjoyed this book and the film is just as great. The writing was a bit bland, but I still liked the story.

Max Allan Collins has long been one of my favourite authors, and he does the film version of 'Saving Private Ryan' justice here, with visceral descriptions of the fighting across Omaha Beach in Normandy and elsewhere inland after the D-Day landings. A few scenes that didn't make the final movie cut are included here, for extra insight into Captain Miller, his squad (loved Reiben's New York City sarcasm) and Private Ryan.
June,6 1944 is where the story all begins, which is set in Germany during world war two. With the survival of the D-day landing Captain John H.Miller is set off with six other soilders on a long hard journey to save a young private named James Francis Ryan who had lost all his other brothers to the war. Through the long journey many men were lost in order to save young Ryan, but on the way most of the soldiers came to terms with what they were sent to do and were willing to give there lives in..more

I started Saving Private Ryan because I saw some boy in my class reading it.I didn't really have anything to read, so I figured I'd give it a try. Naturally, I wasn't expecting a ton out of it, but I read it in a day it was so good. Normally military books are not exactly my cup of tea, per say, but I love love love love loved this book.

Saving Private Ryan, published in 1998, is a novel by Max Allan Collins based on the screenplay by Robert Rodat. The film Saving Private Ryan, another one of my favorites, was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred Tom Hanks as Captain Miller, Matt Damon as Private Ryan, and Ed Burns as Tom Sizemore; the film was also a huge stepping stone for actors such as Vin Diesel, Barry Pepper (Also played in Flags of our Fathers) and Andrew Scott.

Reading this first of all forced me to understand the ranking system in the army.the guns, I decided I don't need to know them. It also gave me a larger appreciation of all that soldiers go through when they are at war. They do such much, suffer through so much, it makes me wonder if there's a point to war..

- Hollywood Reporter7/24/2017 by Michael RechtshaffenThe visual masterwork finds Spielberg atop his craft, weaving heart-pounding action and gut-wrenching emotion that will leave viewers silently shaken.. If words occasionally fail the picture, the images speak indelible volumes.
- [Saving Private Ryan] accomplishes something I had been taught was most difficult -- making an action-filled anti-war film or, at least, one that doesn't in some way glorify or lie about combat.
- Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece. It cements Steven Spielberg's reputation as one of the seminal filmmakers of the era.
- Minneapolis Star Tribune Zoo tycoon 2 ultimate collection.8/19/2014 by Jeff StricklerThe film is directed by Steven Spielberg, and breaks new ground in content and style. It merges some of the most realistically disturbing battle footage ever included in a feature film with a touching human story.
- If Steven Spielberg's emotional intelligence matched his visual genius, his harrowing, passionately felt and honorably flawed new film might qualify for one of the greatest American movies ever made about World War II.
- Spielberg puts us through the hair-trigger terrors of combat in a way no other filmmaker has ever dared, and yet there's a gentleness to his enterprise. He's interested in the humaneness that comes through the horror.
- Spielberg accomplishes these goals with a technical virtuosity that no other director, arguably in the history of the cinema, can even approach.
- Saving Private Ryan is the war movie to end all war movies. It's the ultimate combat film, far outdistancing what until now had been the genre's World War II classics.
- The cast functions as an effective and believable unit. And Hanks gives a strong, increasingly solemn performance as its mysterious leader.
- Dramatic lapses notwithstanding, Saving Private Ryan goes beyond technical dazzlement to put a new, indelibly terrible face on war.
- Calling it the greatest war movie ever made does a disservice to other, equally worthwhile, lower-profile films. But it's still an excellent movie, as effective in battle scenes as it is in that of soldiers ruminating on an Edith Piaf song.
- Anyone who would like to know what superb filmmaking is all about need look no further than this overpowering movie.
- What Steven Spielberg has accomplished in Saving Private Ryan is to make violence terrible again. Nothing in the movie's melodramatic narrative can diminish the shocking immediacy of its combat scenes.
- Searing, heartbreaking, so intense it turns your body into a single tube of clenched muscle, this is simply the greatest war movie ever made, and one of the great American movies.
- Spielberg goes a long, long way toward overcoming his tendencies toward the shallow, but the visceral punch of his not-quite-masterful film is softened by an almost neurotic slickness that keeps getting in the way of the [issues it raises].
- Spielberg obviously decided that blood and guts meant just that, and so he arranged his violence into a semblance of pure disorder. The illusion holds, complete with severed limbs and wellsprings of blood, and it feels honorable.
- Saving Private Ryan is Steven Spielberg's best war film and one of the two or three best movies the director has made.
- The great Hollywood battle films have told us repeatedly that war is hell. Saving Private Ryan, more than any other, is the one that shows it.
- War may be a faceless affair, but war movies shouldn't be.
- No further commentary is needed when the raw brutality of combat is presented as indelibly as it is here.
