Excellent Reading Book.I Give Rating.4 out of 4.
Character adjustment in story with carrying bear was so nice and beautiful topic.Difficult to put. Back in the days that passed, a few people speak. But the fact is that the war waged by poorly trained soldiers is forgotten, horrible. The concept of creativity as a science fiction novel. The vision was like a mood destroyed by Chicago detective novels. Wanted a happy ending.I was interested because the recent 1917 film was really moving. The author succeeds in capturing some of this essence in this novel, but adds his own flavors if spirituality, psychology and the fantasy are all aplombed. An exceptionally nice YA read from the ordinary YA charts about an age ... To many younger writers, it'd be eye opening.That is the story of a young man named Fred Warrenton. The bronze bear statuette gives him a faith and self-existence in his life that helps him throughout the first world War. While the emphasis is often on self-trust and the confidence in one's dreams, the acts of the plot carry through the novel. It's clear and well written, with a few errors in easy prose. It definitely deserves to be read.The book reads how my grandfather tells me a very good story about his own life. It's unique and captivating, making all the details nostalgic and real. My attention was attracted by the Bear statue on the cover; however, the wise and informative voice that carries my tale kept me reading. Kind of does make me want to call my Grampy to wonder if he was in Korea and the marines. Recommendation.This book is especially fun after the early chapters. The middle to later chapters are, I would argue, the very most strong nucleus of this novel, as the main individual is drawn up by a boot camp. Without going into intense graphical detail, the war is rather viscerally defined with every impact one would expect from it. It balances also well the lighter elements of soldiers, with a very well structured and trusted camaraderie between fellow soldiers. The early and later chapter relationships are well-created and quite practically working. And the bear guardian's supernatural dimension is really fun.
