Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Carol asked this question about Accidental Soldier: A Memoir of Service and Sacrifice in the Israel Defense Forces:
Was anyone else able to get through the grammatical errors and disorganized paragraphs? Once you did that, were you able to sympathize or relate to this whiney, spoiled child of an extremely talented couple? What did you think about the title? Deceptive. False advertising. How is it an accident when you weigh the costs/benefits? I was disappointed. What did you get from the book?
Cheryl Mclaughlin yes, i "got through" the book. Found a couple misspelled words but didn't notice grammatical errors, and didn't find the paragraphs to be disorganize…more yes, i "got through" the book. Found a couple misspelled words but didn't notice grammatical errors, and didn't find the paragraphs to be disorganized. Whiney? Most young women trying to find where they belong can sound whiney at times. Spoiled? It's a matter of perspective.
Deceptive? False advertising? not by me
I heard the author speak and she was able to explain how she came to choose the title.
what did i get from the book? a good picture of how things work in Israel, a promise that young women can and do find alternatives to the prescribed course for their young adult lives. (less)
