Fallen Angels

Rating:
Summary: The book was very dramatizing.
Review: We read this novel for senior English class. It was the concenses of the class that it was very realistic. Many of the members of the class finished the book before the actual assigned time. They were deeply involved in the book. They realized that kids their age actually were on the frontline of the war and it scared them. Many commented that they too would have gone and fought for the same reasons that Perry and PeeWee went to Vietnam. Signed Senior English, Mrs. C's Class

Summary: An extraordinarily powerful book!
Review: I am 12 years old. I am not yet finished with "Fallen Angels", but the first 7/8 of this book have given me more to think about than every other book I've read COMBINED! It'll make you cry. It'll make you seethe with anger at the Vietnamese (and the Americans). It'll make you think. A haunting, powerful book. One of the best ever written. If you want to read a masterpiece war story, this should be your first choice. Outstanding.

Summary: Must read book
Review: Fallen Angels explained the life of a soldier during Vietnam, this book described the horror of war. I give this book 5 stars. Walter Dean Myers is my favorite author and a great one at that.

Rating:
Summary: Stellar. A must-read for any 18-year-old
Review: As one of the greatest books I have ever read, Fallen Angels is breathtaking. The descriptions in this book have made the Vietnam War clear to me--In its carnage and brutality. I have four chapters left and I have never been so affected by a novel in my entire life. I feel as though I have seen the battles of the war firsthand. The descriptions have etched themselves into my mind without traumatizing me to the extent that the brave young men and women who fought the war had been. The scariest part about it is, I am the same age as some of the men in the story--I would never have survived.

Rating:
Summary: A great Vietnam War historical fiction book
Review: I think this book was one of the best Vietnam War books out. It has great detail among the scenery and the Army of the United States. This book really touched me how the African Americans and Whites all came together during war time.
