action-packed narratives follow wwii (September 1944-March 1945?) tank battles from the perspectives of young soldiers (kids, really) from both the American and German sides. I wasn't super interested in the story (it didn't help that I have trouble keeping track of characters in general, and this book hops from one soldier to another), but the storytelling is good, with plenty of action and tense/tragic situations, so readers who enjoy battle stories should like this plenty.… (plus d'informations)

Certainly better than A Higher Call and Spearhead, but Makos still works too hard to make a single event into a full-length book. As other reviewers have said, it's a poor decision on his part to replace military & nautical terms with civilian ones. The writing style is pretty simplistic....like young teens are the audience he was writing for instead of adults. I found it odd that Hudner was the one to try to rescue Brown, because if the book is accurate, they really didn't have much of a connection prior to that. They were squadron mates, sure, but not roommates, rarely flew together as leader & wingman, didn't spend much time outside the squadron together. But Makos never works to uncover this disconnect. I also found it odd that when the chopper comes to pick up the 2 downed aviators, Hudner and the chopper pilot are concerned that Brown is dying, but nobody bothers to check for a pulse? "Oh, his head is down and he's not responding, he must be dead." Again - seems like the type of broad overview writing that would appeal to young teens. If I don't read any more Adam Makos, that'll be fine.… (plus d'informations)

The battle portion of the book is interesting from a historical perspective, but the first two-thirds of the book do a very poor job of developing a bond between Tom and Jesse. The writing is repetitive and doesn't really fit the language and actions of soldiers.
