missjmart 's review for:

Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers
3.0

War books are not really my genre. They are not something that I am drawn to, but I decided to give Fallen Angels a read. 

Sadly, I was bored. I thought the idea was interesting. Follow Richie Perry through his tour in the Vietnam War, a basketball superstar turned military soldier. The way it was written felt choppy. It  didn’t feel like it had a good flow. The descriptions were good, but even when there was supposed to be a lot of action, it was still hard for me to see what was happening in the scene in my head. 

If you are a fan of military fiction, this might be a good read for you, but otherwise you might want to pass on this one.
