Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents: Yes it did tempt me to pick it up. I feel that the cover reflected the story to an extent. The cover has an army figure on the front fallen down. That's basically what the story is about, a fallen soldier.
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: It gives you insight to what it's like being a high school student going through the ROTC program, getting picked on, and living without parents. It is an inspirational story thatcan motivate you to do anything.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: How hard that J.T. trained for the dream that he wanted. He had a dream, a goal and he would do anything to get to it.
Did you finish: Yes
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was not disappointed with the book. The only way that I would have been disappointed is that I did not see that ending coming at all. It was good though. Pickens kind of showed how J.T. used to be and how he was getting stronger and more tough.
