Reading Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers. This book has really drawn me in. Although I was in Middle School/High School during the Vietnam War, I didn't have a brother, uncle, cousin or friend that was drafted into this war and so it never really touched my life in a real personal way. This book really draws you into the horror of war, the friendships that are forged and the sometimes daily boredom of being in war. You feel the fear that grips the young soldiers that are there fighting. They are there for so many different reasons, some thinking that joining was a way to make their life better. Hummm?
