danikass 's review for:
American War
by Omar El Akkad
This is one of the most engrossing books I've ever read in my life. It's impossible to put how it feels or what it is into words. It's a war story, a family story, an ode to destruction and ruin and hope. It's an incredibly unique view of a very possible future that felt painfully real from the start. The world building was magnificent, easy to follow, all encompassing and truly original. It's beautifully, hauntingly, written — gritty yet poetic. It's a masterpiece of fiction.
