Code Talker: A Novel about the Navajo Marines of World War Two by Joseph Bruchac

3.0

adventurous challenging dark informative sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

An informative historical fiction book that shows the life and hardships of a young Navajo man as grows up and joins the Marines to become a Codetalker during WWII. It's written as if it's the main character telling his decendents his story, almost like a fictional memoir. It's a great story, but is only rated as a 3 star for me due to the long passages deeply describing war tactics and other military jargon, which isn't as interesting to me as the rest of the book.
