Customer Review: I just finished this book and it was amazing. I became very emotionally involved in the story which is an important characteristic in deciding whether I like a book or not. I was happy to find a great book to read after a string of not so good ones.
Customer Review: Excellent book. This captivating story was well written. People of ANY age can relate to this book.

Customer Review: Of all the books published on the Vietnam War, this is the grandaddy. O'Brien's ability to capture the mood and setting of grunts sent to fight an unjust war is amazing and heartrending.

Customer Review: The Jews of Europe are being rounded up to be sent to prison camp. If they are very young children, they are killed immediately! Others can stay alive as long as they can work hard on little food. But they, too, will eventually follow the younger children. It is for this reason Anne Frank and others... more info
Customer Review: For the past two days I have locked myself up and away from any form of life (it surprised me that I didn't even show any concern for Americas next top model primer that I was anticipating for months!
