I tried to search this, but didn't get anything.

At my school it's required reading. You either read it Sophmore or Senior year, and I ended up reading it this year. I just hope it's not one of those books that constantly reminds me of the current war.

Have any of your read this? Thoughts? Comments?

I read it last year. It was a pretty good book to me, considering I'm not the type of person to like reading about wars.

The thing that was most interesting to me is that the book is basically all a lie, or an extremely exaggerated truth. Dunno why...but that kinda killed it for me. When you finish reading the book I'll tell you what I'm talking about. Don't really wanna spoil it for you pinch.gif
