Andrew Fahey- Band of Brothers

The book I chose to read this summer was Band of Brothers, this book exceeded my expectations. At first, I thought this book was just another book I had to read for summer, something that I would drudge through just to get it finished. As I began the first chapter, my eyes were opened to one of the best books I have read. To read about the struggle that the soldiers went through really made me find a new respect for our troops. I also liked how Stephen Ambrose used quotes from the actual soldiers almost forty five years later. It really helped to understand what happpened. My favorite part of the book was hearing about Easy Company's training rituals, which were extremely brutal. If anyone was looking for a book to read, that was both historically accurate and fun to read, this is the perfect book for them to read. One of my favorite books ever now.
