I finished it last night, but unlike others, I found the second half to be thrilling. It must be a guy thing. I don't usually go in for war fiction, but I found the characterizations to make the action more natural. As literature, I especially liked Virgil's use of similes throughout the book. They made the descriptions more succinct as well as poetic.
