Heart Breaking Novel about the Realities of War
Walter Dean Myers at his best. Great Novel about courage under the worst circumstances. Realistic in every way.

Graphic, intense, and brutal war story
Fallen Angels is an intense, gritty Vietnam war story that offers plenty to think about. This is a rare book because it does not glamorize the violence of war. It is portrayed as it is: sad and brutal. There is lots of strong language, including tons of uses of words like f-ck and s-it. There is also some sex talk between soldiers and references to venereal diseases. Overall, Fallen Angels should be read by anyone mature enough for it.

Good book. Lots of swearing, but that really is the reallity of it.
This is one of my favorite books, but has tons of swearing. Still a must read for war-historical fiction lovers.

Heart-Wrenching Graphic Book.
In this book you will follow the young 18 year old by the name of Richard Perry. In this book you will find some racial comments and swearing and gore. You will also feel like your in the book alongside the other members: Brew, Lobel, PeeWee, Johnson, Brunner, Lieutenant Carroll, Lieutenant Gearhart, Monaco, Sergeant Donogan, Sergeant Simpson, and also encounter rookies such as Jenkins, Turner, and Lewis... This story is definitely worth the 309 pages, and you will always keep this book in mind.

Good Book
I love this book and it never gets old. I read it over and over again. But i would not recommend book for kids under the age of 13. They might not understand what the book is saying, and the book does give you graphic details about war.

it seems like this will be a great book. gettin it tomorrow yay!
As a movie my prediction: Rated R for constant, extensive, extreme, prolonged, brutal, realistic, intense sequences of war violence and action, sexual references, strong pervasive language, disturbing images, and brief drug use.

Im 13 now and i think that anyone who gives this book a bad reveiw is a hypocrit. This is the REALITY of vietman. There was friendly fire and massacres and terror and gore and language and racism. I personally think that the hypocrytical adult review was good. Sure there are other books but this one is the one with the most truth. So get out of the fantisey that war is romantic 'cause its not. The guy's brother died in the conflict in southeast asia so give him a break. He writes good poems too.

Good for teens
Even though it has crude language and gorey content, its good for anyone on and over the age of 12. If they can handle language and war novels.

A Really Gripping story. One That Will Stay With You.
I read this book a while ago and it actually changed my perspective on things. like for the veterans who fought in this war and others past. and the respect that was not given for there duties. it really made me think about things. War is bad, and as much as we want it not to happen it does. the sad part is that the soldiers who fight are usually young and innocent. some may have never voted. Another thing is that others may hate the vulgar language in the novel but face the facts. when your young you use words like that. all in all this is a great book.

Fallen Angels
Fallen Angels was a great book. Even though it had some harsh language it tells the realties of war, and makes you think twice about the risks that are taken when joining the war effort.
