I don't really have much to say on this matter, but I would prompt that this book is great. I've read it more than I'd like to admit, and I also liked the characters a lot, Ray was my favorite of them all. I do have a slight warning, the violences and horrors of war are on full display here and it can get quite sad at parts. Overall I would recommend this heart stopping novel by Alan Gratz, he's an amazing writer and I certainly enjoyed his book, Grenade.
