Thoroughly enjoyed the sequel, thankfully it was not a connector book. I also greatly appreciated the fact that it was not an 'Action' based book. What I mean by this is that the characters experience life as you or I could and reacted in an acceptable manor. There wasn't one calamity after another but real life experiences that have or might have happened in the past or in the present day, Iran, Afghanistan, Irac.It might be hard to believe that a 15 year-old could behave in such a way yet again people grow up rather quickly when they have too. I don't want to give any spoilers away but I would greatly recommend this book as we as the previous one.One last note, the dedication meant the world to me. My youngest is currently in Jalalabad, my oldest served in Kabul, and my middle son in the Persian Gulf. Too many times we at home forget that Tomas Jefferson's quote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Personally I would rather it be the blood of Tyrants. I want my son back whole.Good Book.
