A Separate Peace

This is a great book about teens during the War.  It reflects on teens not trusting each other, and then how they overcome troubles together.  They give each other ambition to train for the Olympics.  This is a very good book.  Allison M.
Rating: ****

This book is about betrayal, triumph, sorrow, regrets and decisions made one summer at a boys school.  I would recommend it to people between 7th and 12th grade reading levels.  Scott C.

I thought this book was slow paced and kind of boring, but it was only 196 pages, so not too bad.  Kim C.
