[show-book title=”More Than a Soldier”]

Wow. I have so much to say, but nothing to say. This was an amazing read.

I am not well versed in history. It is too dark and depressing and angering, and this book was all of that.

It was an emotional rollercoaster that had me feeling fear, and sadness, and loss, and confusion, and love, and… just so many emotions. There were times that I was fighting back tears.

This is not a light read and not for the faint of heart. It can be triggering if you have a mental illness, PTSD, or may have experience with war.

I will say, however, that this was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I couldn’t put it down – I didn’t want to put it down.

If you enjoying reading about history and the personal experiences, you will feel like you are right by Angelo’s side during all that he endured.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and will be holding on to it to read again in the future.
