The Always War is a science fiction book full of action and adventure. The war has been going for 75 long and hard years. Tessa a young, intelligent girl, is watching her neighbor, Gideon Thrall, getting a medal for his courage in the war he has fought in.Later, in the story, they go into enemy territory. Will they have what it takes to survive this long lived war? If you like Margret Haddix's books you will definitely love this fast page turner, I highly recommend you read it. Was impressed with the writing style. The fact that the plot is that of a pilot who thinks he has done the unthinkable and two girls who are now along for the ride to end a war is a different approach. Was glad to see these main characters were not love interests but three teenagers who had the conscious to do what was right and continue on without giving up. Have not really read much of Haddix's works but I will definitely be reading more.
What do You think about The Always War (2011)?
I like the book but I don't think It should be a stand alone. Needs a sound book.
