Soldier Boys!!


Today I got this book. And I finished it today! It was really good. It was about two 17 year-old boys. One an American, one a German. The book switches from boy to boy as they travel with the army during World War 2. It switches from their viewpoints as the war goes on and they experience real war action. Once again the book is a little graphic but its the truth about how war really is. I thought it was really weird to hear the German kid talking about killing Americans and fighting for Hitler. Eventually though these two characters will meet in battle not knowing one another. It's a really interesting how their stories intertwine. It's another great read!

Wow, I love war books and war movies. The comradery of the soldiers is so cool. Have you ever read All Quiet on the Western Front? It's pretty interesting. It's completely from the point of view of a German soldier, but its pretty graphic too. Soldier Boys sounds really cool. I want to read it! Who wrote it?

Ms. James has All Quiet on the Western Front. It's by Erich Marie Remarque and its green. ^-^
