Query: Nice suprise!

When I first encountered this book I was in high school, the teacher tended to pick the most boring material but this book caught me. Its been several years since then but when I saw this book again on a book store shelf I couldn't help myself. Since I bought this I have had 3 roommates in college dormitorys and two of them borrowed and then purchased this book.The book develops the characters in a very basic way but the rest gets added as you go along. It provides the reader with an insight into a war that seems to be forgotten these days and one can't help but feel for the main character. The ending though brings a fitting ending, one that seems to make the book truely whole if given the chance. I would recommend this book to anyone considering it, it was not what I exspected but better.
