Summary: Outstanding book for young adults AND their parents
Review: This is an outstanding book for young adults. It is also a great book for parents to read along with their kids, hopefully inciting discussion about the book's profound themes. For a book dealing with weighty issues, the tone of the book is not patronizing toward its young readers and the author deals with the issues of patriotism, nationalism, heritage, war, and first love subtly and thoughtfully. "Soldier X" is a carefully crafted book that is a real page-turner!

Summary: Worth the Money, and a book also for adults
Review: This is another good book which I read recently. It is stated as a children's book for those aged 9-12. Indeed, the book was written in such a way which is easily comprehensible. However, I do not think that a 9 or 12 year old kid would understand the horror of war itself or the feelings of losing their friends and parents during a war unless they are very smart or they live in war-torn countries like Afghanistan. Their great grandparents would definitely do. The book also contains some passages which are very bloody and brutal for kids to read.
I strongly believe that the book should not be treated as a kid's book. If the author is right in his claim that "the story is not only true, but also loosely parallels the experience of an estimated thirty thousand German soldiers during World War II on the Eastern Front", which I have no reason to believe otherwise, this book should be treated as a war memoir of a former Hitler Youth member whose name is "Soldier X" and not as a mere fiction.

Summary: Soldier X
Review: This was an extremely good book. Once i picked it up i could not put it down. The best part is that it is based on a true story. It was even sad at times when his friends died. When you read books or see a show on tv you never expect for a main character to die but that type of unpredictableness makes this an extremely good book!!!(...) If you liked this book you should try the Alex Rider series.

Summary: Soldier X
Review: When Erik Brandt is fighting for the German Nazis in World War II, and gets trapped behind enemy lines, he wakes up in a Russian hospital. There, he meets his one true love. He also learns that practically all of his friends from Germany are dead. Even while he's recovering in the hospital, his new Russian friends are dying from battle wounds.
When the Russian hospital is invaded, will he reunite with the German army, or will he run away with his Russian love that doesn't yet know his deepest secret? How will he choose? How will he survive?
Erik Brandt retells his amazing, and sometimes heart-breaking war story. This book is told in first person and is mainly a true story, which makes it even more touching.
I absolutely LOVE Soldier X! It's the only book I've ever read that has made me cry. I'd recommend it to boys and girls from about 5th to 8th grade. It's a fairly easy read, but an awesome story.

This book is about a soldier who is from Russia but his family immegrated illegaly to Germany. He becomes a German soldier and when he gets caught in a
Russian ofensive he canges close with a dead Russian soldier. He goes to the hospital and meets a nurse named Tamara ( who he realy likes ). They travel all over Germany,Russia, Czechoslovakia,and Ukrane,intell the war is over.

'If discovered,I would be killed. Even playing dead would not save me; even , once found , I would be skewered on the end of a baynet .
I had only one chace, I knew , to save myself .
The dead eyes of the blond Russian boy seemed to be watching me. With my fingers, I closed the lids. Strange though it may seem, I did not want him looking at me and what I was about to do'.
The people who would like this book would be people who like action.
I give this book five out of five stars.
