katiem123 's review for:

American War by Omar El Akkad
4.0

I think it's a sign of the times but this book was hard. It left me with weird sad dreams and generally made me anxious. It felt like such a raw look at the depths humanity can to sink to and it felt very real, very plausible.

I listened to it and the audio was good. Men doing young female voices is often crap in audio and there were a few moments that irked me but there wasn't enough young female characters to have it ruin the audio. I do think listening to it enhanced the overall impact the novel had be that a good or bad thing!
