American War by Omar El Akkad
3.0

I don’t know this maybe a 3.5 star book for me. I liked how there was no actual protagonist, just many different people doing horrible things because of their circumstances and the incredible trauma they’d experienced since childhood. The politics of this future civil war actually seem plausible, but I felt some of the details could have been better explored. Also some of the characters like soldiers and politicians seemed cookie cutter and lifeless.
