Excellent, but not for every teen
This is a great read, just enough humor to keep you going through some harrowing experiences. It's very skillfully written, the characters are three-dimensional and worthy of respect, even when we don't like what they're doing, and all deserving of a better outcome than what war offers them. In that it is very realistic. Some teens who already have some knowledge of the world and its history would enjoy it as much as I did; some may not be ready for this much reality.
