A pretty excellent read. At times heart-breaking and atrocious in it's details. I read it in three days if that is any indication of how engrossing this story is.

A compelling adventure, well written and engaging. Not necessarily a lighthearted read, but what war stories are? It’s a very human tale, and a good coming of age story.

Beautiful and heartbreaking

A book that really is all about the journey. Wonderful characters and constant changes. I couldn't put it down.
