This book is a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The reason that is isn't a 5 out of 5 stars is because it would've been nice to know that "fallen Angels" is the "first" book about this family. Other than that this book was amazing! It was nice to see how different groups work in the army. Another great thing Mr. Myers added to the book was how he made the smaller groups that par took in the war also have a big role through out the war. Mr. Myers explains how each group works through out the book very well and its easy to understand. The letters that Robin write to his uncle Richie is also a very nice touch in the book. Through out those letters you can see how Robin is being effected by the Iraqi war. This book is worth the read, its not to long and its not to short. You can also learn a lot about the army through this book. I can't recommend this book enough to people who are looking to learn more about the army or if you're just looking for a good book to read!
