A review by jsheppard
Heroes by Robert Cormier

4.0

I read this for GCSE a few year back. I remember instantly hating the book because of the first few paragraphs (and having to read it for school). However, as I read further, Robert Cormier style of writing really interested me; the characters were realistic and the themes were portrayed beautifully throughout the book and because it was not written in chronological order it allowed Cormier to slowly reveal all of the mysteries until the end.

This is a very good book for anybody who likes novels about World War Two at the home front. It makes you question what makes a hero and who, at least in the book, really is one. I really hope that I find myself reading this again one day.
