Sunrise Over Fallujah by Walter Dean Myers

My review is on the book, “Sunrise Over Fallujah,” by Walter Dean Myers. It’s about a guy called Robin “Birdy” Perry that gets stationed in the military. This book just talks about a typical day and about all the different attacks and what they get to do, but it’s put into a great story. You’re always wondering when the next bomb is going to come and if it is going to kill anyone. Or like I always wondered if they got free time and in this book they make it sound like they get to have some fun, by playing soccer with the kids at where ever they’re stationed. This book got rated 4 and a half stars out of 5. The New York Times said “Birdy and his fellow soldiers find themselves in a perplexing hall of mirrors, and we as readers are embedded with them...This is an astonishing book.”

The book I read is Sunrise over Fallujah. This book takes place in the war that is going on right now. The guy they called “Birdy” tells you about what is going on and who they are after. He’s also in a lot of the action that goes on. I like this book because it tells you about what’s going on in the war today. They are helping the Iraqis like we are.

Here are some quotes from the book. “You’re not bad Perry. Somewhere between Ronaldinho’s grandmother and my dog."

The reading level is young adult. And The New York Times Review says it is “Astonishing”
