Stuck Behind Enemy Lines

1. This book is about this girl named Margret. She works at the hospital and she cares for a Hessian named Christian. When Christian goes into the war, he injured Margret's brother John. Will John Forgive Christian? Will Margret and Christian get married? Read it to find out!! 2. I think this book is AWESOME!!!!! 3. Irony is a story element for this book because it makes you think that John would kill Christian, but he doesn't 4. I would recommend this book to people who like war books.

Pretty Good

This book was not too bad, infact it was a joy reading it. It kept me reading throughout the late hours of the night. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes history and war books. I'm not saying that this book it full of action and war though, there were parts which were not such a joy reading. But, still most of the book was good, in my opinion.

An enemy Among Them

This was an interesting, good book. It's a little boring in the beginning, between pgs 1-10, but you get hooked after that. It's about mainly Margaret Volpert, and another main character is Private Christian Molitor, a Hessian. Margaret's family has a son, later 2, in the American army though they are German. When Margaret meets Christian, she sees how both sides' boys are the same, neither are evil. They're just fighting for their country, doing what they're told, what they believe in. But Christian has a secret that could turn Margaret against him...

Ok so i'm over the age limit!

Im 14 I admit it. But I gotta say I loved this book and im sure you would to. It is full of adventue and romance.

one of my favorite books ever............

I personally loved this book.I read it at 12 and definitly consider it one of my favorite books. not only does it have a lot to offer historically wise, but it also has a ton of drama and interesting parts to it. it has a bit of romance in the middle , but only a bit. When margrets brother goes to war she's worried. Then she visits a small temperary hospital and sees all the suffering and convinces her dad to bring a soldier to help her father and her. Little does she know that this certain soldier is from the other side of the war and is the same soldier who shot her beloved brother. overcome by emotions he cant handle the young soldier runs away. i wont tell you any more because it would ruin the ending , but take my word it is a great book. Too bad they didn't write a sequel to it.
