5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome read!, Dec 31 2009

Ramisha B. (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed this book a lot because I was able to connect to Edward and everything he was going through. It gave me a new perspective of how someone my age lived and thought 100 years ago.Emily's death and the part with the German solider was heart-breaking. This book really made me think about the consequences of war and the toll it takes on soldiers. This is also a great book to use for a book report or review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a glamorous war, Nov 29 2008

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Megiddo's Shadow (Paperback)
Art Slade plunges the reader into the shoes of Edward, a 16 year old who has just lost his revered older brother in the Great War. Edward lies about his age and enlists to avenge his brother's death. He quickly finds out that war is not as glamorous as he thought.

The historical detail is bang-on and Edward's day to day experiences are so real that the reader can practically feel the grit of sand in her teeth. There is much in this novel that is very mature but it's handled deftly. I found myself weeping many times as I suffered Edward's losses. A compelling read.
