Book review- "Purple Heart"

      Purple heart was a great book that I think readers of all ages would enjoy. It was about an 18  year old soldier named Matt who joins the army and encounters an incident that leaves him without the memory of that day. He then Receives a purple heart for his brave actions even though he doesn't know why. Throughout the book you see Matt struggle physically and mentally as he begins his road to recovery. What i really liked about the book though was how it showed such a strong friendship between the main characters, this was a friendship that I think just about everyone has and made the book that much easier to connect to. the book also shows strong themes for example trust, guilt, and grief. overall  I think this was a great book that showed a lot of good things.

      At only about 200 pages it seemed to fly by and i wish it had continued. The only thing that i didn't like a bout the book was the ending i thought it was to general but i won't spoil it for everyone else. I also think that this book would be an especially good read for anyone who has family in the military because it compares ordinary life to life in the military. Once again though i would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read.
