Overall, the book is a great read, even for those who do not enjoy
This was a very interesting book and I love it. I would recommend more kids to read
The story and the characters really stood out to me. They really expressed themselves and the setting in the story was very cool to learn about. I enjoyed the pictures in the book because they guide the reader into the setting and the time period in the book. I recommend this book to people who are interested in learning about World War II and people who are interested in biographies and survival stories. One of my favorite quotes from the book was “A lifetime of glory is worth a moment of pain.”
This book also showed me that people face hardships every day and live through them without you even noticing. In other words, there is usually way more to a person than what you see. I would rate this book 4.5/5
But yes, I do like this book and would recommend this book to anyone interested in world
I must confess that I do not usually read realistic fiction as my personal choice, however I have read many because they were required reading for my children. This book was quite captivating. At first I was surprised to see how many books this author had written. Choosing a book was quite difficult and my schedule did not allow me to get to the library to check them out to see which one I would read. I finally gave in a purchased the e-book.
I took the book to work with me and read there on my breaks. I simply could not put it down. Which is also what I saw from other people that have read this book. I would without a doubt recommend this book to anyone that needed a story to read for a class because the story is exciting and they would enjoy doing this assignment. Not only would I recommend it for a student’s book report, but i would recommend this book to anyone just looking for some leisurely reading.
I think this book was well organized in its chapter and sub chapters. For a guy who despises reading, this book was not that tough as read as I expected especially for it being about history and non-fiction. There was nothing for me to be excited about going in, but I got through it without much struggle. The book had some weird names, some Latin words, and some unusual vocabulary. Other than a couple of words, this book was an easy to understand, thus making it an easy read.
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or

People change. People adapt to the situation at hand, whether it’s a good or bad change depends on the person.

This Is why I rate this book a 7 out of 10. Overall this book was very informing and interesting and I would gladly read it again some time in the
The word choices are intermediate and it is easy to follow the story lines from book to book. The owls are also child like at times and it is easy for youth to relate to
Another, significant factor in understanding how rule-utilitarianism fails as a ethical theory is that it leaves no room for heroism. To further elaborate, since utilitarianism expects to always maximize happiness, it does not take into consideration the act of being a hero by going the extra mile because it’s expected. For example, if a possible rule is implemented to obligate every firefighters to enter a burning building if there are still people trapped there. This will force the firefighter legally to go and attempt to save the lives of the civilians inside the burning building even if it means the possibility of death. However, since this is considered and obligation by rule-utilitarianism it would not be called heroic.
