Summer of My German Soldier

This takes place towards the end of WWII in a small town in the south. The characters are alive almost and it easy to feel for them. Read it if you like a love story, WWII, or just a good, entertaining story. Cristina R.

The book was very good. It was exciting, yet sad. I didn't like how Patty was treated. Tara L.
Rating: ****

Good book with good supporting characters and large quantities of swimming imagery. The only problem was the main character who was totally pathetic. Michelle G.

A great book, but very sad. It's about a Jewish girl who has no friends except one--an escaped German soldier. I loved it! Bridget H.

I really liked this book and thought it was a wonderful love story. I sympathize with the main character for she gets treated horribly and she get beaten. I would recommend it to girls more than guys. Swimming imagery is strong. Molly M.
