"My review on this book is very good. Well I think so. Ok the good things I like about this book are the action ,WOW even though I did not see the action but I could picture it very well in my head of what was going on and the emotions in this book. Everything in this book was a true story ,and all this stuff the main character goes threw is real not fake real. His name is Scott an average boy that got out of high school to join the army in World War Two and go to college after so. He has the journal he took with him every where in this war, I mean wow I would of not have done that ,I would of been sleeping because how exasted I was after fighting. His mother wanted him to write to her and his other loved ones. So he wrote a lot every day sometimes he did not because of taking orders to clear and hold a town some where. He also had a friend named Bobby Joe that was in his squad and went to his school. It would of been hard for him because you have to be worried about someone else instead of you. He went threw one of America's goreist battles ever ,Ohama beach ,over 30,000 American soldiers died at the german fronts. Even though he survived much did not. There was also 65,000 injured during the battle. There are some of the reasons why you should read this facinating book. This ain't no ordinary book, it is real."
"The journal was given to the author by his uncle Richard. And I was awarded to read it as a usual recommendation from our local library. I don't regret. Walter Dean Myers is a good story-teller. He describes hard things so simply, taking the most sencere form of writing - the diary of an ordinary soldier, Scotty, during his fought in the World War II. So, "the central player in this story is the war itself", says the author in the epilogue. Nearly in every episode of this book you will find true facts about dramatic events of that horrible war. Even the beginning of the story tells you of some family members who are wounded because of the war. Thank's God, American soldiers weren't the first who started it, but they were the last who were wounded and killed on the way just to finish it. One of those brave Americans, besides others mentioned there, was the main hero of the book, Scott Pendleton Collins from Reanoke, VA. There are some unique war photos added within, as well as historical note on the overlapping problems of that time. I'd recommend it both for children and adults who are interested in heroic and tragic age of the world history, especially the American one."
