4.0
This book is a heartbreaking look at how war affects soldiers but also their families, especially children.

5.0
This book did a wonderful job in transporting the reader into the passed summer of a sleepy little town. I felt as if I were actually there with Eli Book as he went through his summer. I actually cared for these characters, which doesn't happen too often, which really puts a damper on my reading experience, but this book was exceptional! Though Eli is so young and sometimes acts that way, I got a solemn and grown up feel from him since he silently observes the world from his hiding spots and mostly stays silent, though he never struck me as a shy kind of boy. Anyways, this book is worth the read.
