Alexander, Larry. Biggest Brother. Nal
Caliber.
Biggest Brother is a book about Richard Winters, the
commander of Easy Company during WWII. The book pretty much tells his
whole life story, but is mainly focused on the war. What sets Winters
apart from other leaders is that he cares about his men and knows their
life is in his hands. He takes great pride in being a good leader and
showing his men he’s there for them. The book also talks about his jobs
and tough situations after the war. It also talks about how Winters all of
a sudden got famous in 2001 when HBO released the famous mini-series Band
of Brothers. He received fan mail everyday and toured the states
speaking to schools and other people about leadership. He also got to meet
the president multiple times and become close friends with Tom Hanks,
Steven Spielberg, and the actors who portrayed him and his buddies in Band
of Brothers. I would recommend this book to anyone who has seen Band
of Brothers or is interested in WWII.

Mazer, Harry. Heroes
Don’t Run.
After
his dad was killed at the infamous attack Pearl Harbor, Adam Pelko joins
the United States Marine Corps in search of getting revenge and bringing
honor to his Family. This it the third and final book of Harry Mazer’s
series. The writer of this book seems inexperienced and clueless to what
war really is, compared to other war stories like Fallen Angels Under A War Torn Sky, and The Red Badge of Courage, This story ranks at the bottom. Anyone
who like to vomit should read this book

Paulson, Gary.
Dancing Carl.
Not
much is known about Carl, other than he lives in a warming cabin near the
ice rinks, but that all changes once the hockey season of 1958 comes
along. This first person novel is about a boy and his friend Willy and
there Questions about Carl, why does he dance on the ice rinks, why is he
living in Minnesota, and why is his behavior so odd. This is a very
powerful book because of the story behind Carl and by what the main
character finds out about Carl later in the story. I recommend this story
to everyone, especially hockey fans.
