Summary: Fallen Angels in Vietnam
Review: I found this book in my school library, and I decided to read it because I had just finished another war book, (Remember this Day by Sidney Stewart, read it, it's a great book) and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. Here's a little about it.Richie Perry is a New York teenager fighting in Vietnam after his dream of attending college on a athletic scholarship is shattered when he hurts his knee. But when he gets to the fighting, he finds that Vietnam isn't what he expected it was going to be. Now, he, his friend Peewee, the other guys in his unit Lobel, Johnson, and Brunner, all have one common goal. Getting out alive.

Summary: Fallen Angels
Review: I just finished this book and it was one of the best books I have ever read in my life. It describes the emotional immortality that war can bring. It so descriptive and it doesn't leave out any details. It talks about how two friends can stick together even through the hardest times. Its nothing like any book I have ever read before. I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes to read about action.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers is one of the few books I remember reading. I was assigned to read in 8th grade and was the best book I read that year. The way the author wrote made me picture the story as if I had lived it. I remember reading it just for fun, and was one of the few books I did read. The book is something of a war story, at least the main basis of it is. It isn't just blowing stuff up, like most war stories. It goes into the thoughts and experiences of a soldier during the Vietnam War. I'm generally a reader of people like Ann Rice and Stephen King, so this is a change of genre reading for me. The basic Summary of the story is a soldier by the name of Richie Perry is in the Vietnam War. He's not supposed to be there, he has medical issues. So he's stuck in Vietnam and he makes friends with other soldiers. Some of them die, and he thinks about the sides of war he has seen. I highly recommend this book, even if you read it for the descriptive language alone.

Summary: Page turner...?
Review: Fallen angels was requried to read for 8th graders to read over the summer who were going into advanced English in High school. Some times i found myself just reading because it was required, but i did get into the books sometimes. I think that fallen angels is the type of a book that should be made into a movie. Walter Dean Myers did an exellant job describing everything and put a pictue into my head on what Perry was going through. I would give this book 5 stars if you are a guy, and 4 if you are a girl. I think that the fighting part will be more exiting for guys to read. Some of the stories about the war the author described were not too factual,but over all, i would read the book. It was not hard to read, but not easy either.

Summary: Fallen Angles is...
Review: Fallen Angels is not just another war story, it is less about the war, and less about the commanders, it has more of the privates problems and experiences. Everything was described in extreme detail, from the patrols, to down time in the camp. It is the story of Richie Perry, and how he volunteers to go into the service after he is not accepted into college. After his first engagement, he asks himself many questions like why the United States is even in the war. Perry not only learns the horrors of war, but he also learns other virtues as well. The descriptions of nearly everything were wonderful depictions of the story, and made it seem like I were really there. The book gave me a new understanding of what soldiers in a war would need to go through, and how horrible the Vietnam war was. Before I read the book, I didn't realize that President Johnson did not have a clear reason for sending soldiers there, and I think I have a better view on what war and being a soldier really means.

Summary: A book for everyone
Review: I read this book because it is an optional novel for me to teach to my sophomores. I wasn't expecting much. I had it labelled in my mind as a "Vietnam War" book, a "boy's" book, and a "Black experience" book. What I found was a gripping novel about war and compassion, humanity and the humane. It was so great I read the whole book in one five hour sitting. Meyers uses humor at the exact moments it is needed, deftly manipulating the reader's emotions, and the character portrayals are so vivid I had the entire book cast with popular actors within a few pages! This is one of the best books I've read all year, and I'm definitely going to use it in the classroom!

Review: If you like to read about wars, this is the book that your looking for because this book doesn't hold anything back.It tells about a teenager from Harlem named Perry who went to the service because his dream of going to college falls through.Perry wonders why all the black troops get the most dangerous missions.
