Summary: Fallen Angels
Comment: One of the most suspenseful books I have read so far in my life would definitely be "Fallen Angels." Walter Dean Myers, (the author) has written very many 5 star books including "Fallen Angels." This book was a good read for me at 309 pages. The main reason I liked this book was the non-stop suspense and all of the huge fire fights. Perry, (the main character) gets drafted to the Vietnam War. Perry gets into about 15 patrols and about 7 of them turned into fire fights. In all of these fire fights, Perry never once killed a Cong, (Vietnamese). Even though Perry never killed anyone, his patrol mates like Peewee, Johnson or Monaco had shot down quite a few Congs. Relating to Perry was easy for me and it probably would be easy for you to because this book has so many different points of views. I encourage you to read "Fallen Angels" because this book was so good that I couldn't put it down no matter how hard I tried. The big question is, will Perry get shot down on the battle field. or will he make it out alive?

Summary: Fallen Angels, a really great book
Comment: I would recommend this book to everyone of the right age, though considering some language and some events are a little graphic, I wouldn't suggest giving this book to a child. Fallen Angels is a great Vietnam War novel. It is about an African American soldier named Perry who joined the army when his athletic scholarship is ruined when he hurts his knee. He meets another African American who calls himself PeeWee and together they struggle to survive their required 14-month tour through Vietnam. Through luck, skill, and Peewee and Perry's growing companionship, they survive battle through battle as everyone around them dies. The book has a lot of battles, with a physical enemy, the Viet Cong, and with the emotions they encounter throughout their time in 'the worst place on earth.' Walter Dean Myers' description and the characterization he uses make Fallen Angels an unforgettable book. His balance of characters and their interactions make this story very realistic. Overall, this novel was put together wonderfully and there is never a dull moment. Walter Dean Myers adds a touch humor in just the right places, too. Fallen Angels shows the life of the soldier. I believe if everyone knew what it was really like, they wouldn't be so quick to have a war and send young people, who are the future, to die in battle.

Summary: Phoney and silly
Comment: The author knows very little about Viet Nam. He apparently thinks the 60 in M-60 stands for .60 cal. and that soldiers put stamps on their letters when they were in the war zone.
Because of the dialogue, the book's subtitle could be The Little Rascals Go To War. Soldiers' talk in this book is often just too cute. For those who like mildly homoerotic war stories that little reflect the way things are, this book might be for you.
