Summary: I would rather read the dictionary
Comment: If the goal was to bore you to sleep the writer did a very good job. The writing style was terrible; boring, condescending, and almost comical in its psuedo-sadness. Even during the attack on Pearl Harbor, it was monotonous and repetitive. The story line is undeveloped; the book reads more like a first draft than a final one. The conclusion was predictable; even though the book was a let down, the ending was even more so. This book might have been good with some work; as it was, it stank.
Rating: 1
Summary: Not Much History Here
Comment: My son is reading PEARL HARBOR IS BURNING, which is short not only on the mood and atmosphere of the time but also on facts. One child dons a "Baltimore Orioles" jacket even though the baseball team didn't move to Baltimore until the 1950's.
The book should focus on the events of Pearl Harbor,not on the story of racial tensions,which is grafted on. That's an important theme, but it doesn't belong here.

Summary: Pearl Harbor is Burning!
Comment: The story takes place in Hawaii, where two boys from very different backgrounds become friends during the strike on Pearl Harbor. This short story is a very good read. My only complaint is that the story ends too soon. The author took time to develop characters but ended the story. It really makes you want to know more about what happens to them in the aftermath of the attack. This book would be a great choice for teachers to read in their classrooms in light of recent events.
