Vietnam #5: Walking Wounded
By Chris Lynch
Have you ever wondered what the Vietnam War was like, the losses sustained in the war? After Rudi gets drafted off to fight in the Vietnam War his three best friends Ivan Morris and Beck decide to sign up and make sure Rudi won’t die and that he will be ok. After a shocking death of one in the group it will cause each member to do something such as trying to win the war all by their lonesome another to defy orders in an act of protest and the last to escort the body of their fallen friend back to America. One of those choices will leave one of our main characters without an eye. Are you interested? If so you will love Vietnam 5: Walking wounded by Chris Lynch it is full of action,adventure and friendship. This is an amazing book that will have you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole ordeal tons of shock awaits you in this book. The antagonist in the book is the vietnam war. The protagonist in the book are the four main characters in the book as in Rudi, Ivan, Morris, and Beck. This book also does not have a turning point seeing how it is one in a very large series. I recommend this book to anyone who likes war books and/or enjoys adventure suspense action and it will shock you, you will love this book. I give it a strong 4* rating. (I don’t recommend this book to younger kids there is no harsh language but some things are more mature topics)

Prisoner of Night and Fog
By Anne Blankman
Gretchen Müller is the perfect young Nazi girl who looks up to her uncle Dolf and has learned to hate the Jews. She has a great life, and has no reason to question society. Until one night, when she sees something she wasn’t supposed to; her brother killing an innocent Jew. Soon after, she starts seeing tears in her familiar world and then she meets Daniel, a Jew who she can’t help but admire because of his story and his honesty. Gretchen knows she can’t keep meeting up with Daniel, but he’s caught her eye. Now Gretchen must decide who to trust and where her loyalty lies: in the life she’s known for the last decade, or in Daniel and justice for the Jews. An utterly real and well-written novel, Blankman’s debut is sure to quench historical fiction fans’ thirst. Thoughts: This book. Guys. This book. The setting was so real and shocking as was the writing and you could imagine yourself in that horrible world, right along with Gretchen and Daniel. It was spine-tingling experiencing the characters being in the same room as Hitler and, golly, to have your world shattered like that and you see the true evil and brainwashing behind the Nazi party. You can tell that Anne did a lot of research by how the setting really comes alive. The beginning was a bit slow, but it was for story-building and things started getting really intense as you went along. I can’t wait for the sequel and to jump back into this rich story and continue the adventure with Gretchen and Daniel.
