Okay, so I actually didn’t finish this book. It was a beautifully written story about the horrors of war and young love. This book taught its readers that although we play a small, yet crucial part in the world, you don’t really matter unless you do something huge so people remember you. The fact that this was a memoir was especially thought provoking. However, I know I’m reading a good book when even though my eyes can hardly stay open due to how tired I am, I have to keep reading. This book was a nice one, but it felt like a chore to read hundreds of pages at once. So I ultimately didn’t finish it. The fact that is was for school didn’t help either. A good read if you have a lot of time, but this book wasn’t for me.
