|Overall/The book so far |
|This is an intriguing book. It’s raising lots of questions: I wonder if Jimmy and Martha will get together? I hope there will be more on this romance! I|
|hope it will be a romance! I wonder if the death of Lavender will keep affecting Lt. Cross. I’m guessing it will. I think this book will be very |
|powerful. I really like the list of what they carried. I think we’ll find out more about some of these things are we go. I’m wondering too how graphic |
|and disturbing the violence will be. It’s a war book. I’m sure it has to get pretty bad. |
