Fallen Angels is a perfect example of not judging a book based on that time you were forced to read it in school. I didn't finish it then, but I'm so glad I decided to start over now! This book moved at such a rapid pace, that I couldn't walk away for too long without wondering what was going to happen on the next page. Exciting, funny, excruciatingly gut-wrenching, and never dulled by long-winded explanations of war tactics/politics. This book was straight to the point. Perfect.

Tells the story of Perry and his squad as they fight to survive the Vietnam War. While simply written, the book packs a punch with its action sequences and description of day-to-day life among soldiers.

3.5-4 stars. For a YA book, it really drew me into the war and had a strong emotional impact on me.

Somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars. I'm not usually big on war stories, and this is a particularly brutal one. That said, it's a story that absolutely needed to be told, and it's one I probably won't forget any time soon.
