eburke84 's review for:

American War by Omar El Akkad
3.0

More like 3.5 stars -- a book I would call important. The conflicts made it feel prophetic at times but the characters were (purposely) flawed and often unsympathetic to the point of evil, which made it hard to love the book. It spoke a great deal of truth about our world, though, and I feel I have a better understanding of extremism as a result of reading this.
