I hope you love this book as much as I did when you get around to reading it. Thank you for the comment!

Most of us don't really know what war is. It is better read from books or seen in movies. Thanks for the amazing review.

I like how a person can read this book with no knowledge of the war or events. I believe this will increase the number of readers. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the book. This is a well-written review. Great job!
