Martin Noble has done real justice to Jack Pulman's creation. When the British begin dropping clothing coupons on Germany, Schulz comes up with a retaliatory scheme for swamping Britain with forged five pound notes. (Richard Gould) Martin Noble's novel based on Jack Pulman's Private Schulz is the funniest book I've read since The Good Soldier Schweik. The result is a finely drawn and hilarious tale of the SS plan to flood wartime Britain with forged £5 notes - with Schulz as the unwitting and unwilling private using the scheme to make some dishonest money for himself. When against all odds Adolf Hitler himself approves the scheme, Private Schulz finds himself being parachuted into England to bury a canister of fivers in the Kent countryside. Private Schulz is determined to sit out the war but, under the fiendish Major Neuheim, he is soon involved in kidnapping British spies on the Durch border and bugging rooms in Berlin's notorious Salon Kitty brothel. Schulz's story is a tale of the powerlessness of the individual in the face both of totalitarian regimes and incredible bad luck. The novel is both compelling and first rate. Jack Pulman never lived to see his creation on screen, and the script was novelised expertly by Martin Noble. A few weeks before the outIt's so great that again, the author showed us why we should care about her, instead of just telling us.What kept this from being a 5 star was simply that the heroine, while endearing, was definitely a little too contemporary. It is the sort of writing that makes one wonder what a *real* author could have done, as this is quite plainly little more than a wannabe film scenario.To call this disappointing is an understatement.. Then it introdues the simple mechanical systems in a very readable way. one of the best historical novels i have ever read. This collection of Perelman's last pieces (most of which appeared in "The New Yorker") will tickle fans almost as much as his best work in his heyday (and when was his heyday? 30s? 40s? 50s? 60s? Probably all of them). This was my second purchase from Angie Grace's line of coloring books. There is quite a lot of information (even statistics from the American Cancer Society) in this book, but it is organized well and not difficult to follow. Easy to read each page has a picture with a writ
