  "By telling this story from two different view points of teenagers who are the same age leads to much discussion, let alone the subject matter." by CarolBH (see profile) 09/20/05

I am only a quarter of the way through this book and I can't put it down. The story is told in such a way that you get to see how both sides view this civil unrest.

 
  "Grittier than I expected... well written, but explicit enough that I would not recommend it to everyone" by bskaat (see profile) 10/27/05

Well written, interesting, and gritty. This book gives a view of the underside of war... the dark, ugly underside of it... where children fight without a clear understanding of why they are doing it other than for their own survival.
