I really enjoyed this book! I'd never seen a Choose Your Own Adventure book that was nonfiction before, but it went really well, and I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait to read more! I recommend this book to everyone 10 and up for violence, but it's still important that everyone reads things like this to make sure that history doesn't repeat itself.
