Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.
I will most likely pick this back up at a later date, but right now I'm just not feeling it.

My new obsession is novels in verse now haha. This book was good though. A piece of WW2 history that isn't talked about a ton.

I had to read this for school. I wanted to read another book, but this wasn't that bad. It was good, and I could definitely relate to a couple things.

It was alright. I usually don't like a bunch of action when I'm reading Star Wars books, and this one had a lot of action. I also wasn't a giant fan of the writing style.

This book was kind of a bumpy ride for me, but I ended up completely loving it. You can really see how George Lucas made Star Wars at the end of this one haha.

I've been in the mood for a lot of quick short books, and I just happened to find this. I felt very nostalgic reading this, mostly because my childhood was a little similar to this. I liked it!

Read in my AP lit class. I'm edgy, and this play was lowkey too edgy for me, but the play was well written! I hated how fast the ending was though.
