A review by loganmaloney
American War by Omar El Akkad
3.0
First half of the book: 4 stars
Second half of the book: 2 stars
There are so many things in the book that was frustrating to read but the premise was a good idea. One thing I didn’t enjoy about this book was that whenever a storyline would get semi-decent, the author would jump to the next stage in Sarat’s life. Also it seems like one of the main reasons why this happened was to mainly focus on the development of the character but the problem was that she did not change one bit from beginning to end, she just got some more scars.
I really don’t think anyone should read this unless they really really love the idea of this book then it could be interesting
