Soldier X (Reading Log)

By: Don Wulffson

Published: 2001

Genre: YA historical fiction


A young man who speaks both Russian and German is drafted into Hitler's army. Given only three weeks of basic training, he is not prepared for the carnage of battle. When he lies injured in a trench behind enemy lines, can he successfully pass as a Russian soldier?

 

My reaction (9.17.2006):

Meh. Some good components, some weak. Interesting choice to frame it in his current life as an old man. MHL 0607
