In the past four months, I've changed jobs, been forced to move out of my apartment back in with my parents temporarily, and begun the arduous task of DIYing a long neglected house into a livable space without, y'know, electrical wires dangling into the sink and cracked wood-paneled walls. I am finding it hard to have the attention span for any reading above an eighth grade level, and even find myself momentarily overwhelmed by Tess Gerritsen. (Let's meditate on that for a moment. Body Double? C..more

This is the story of one soldiers tour in Vietnam. It shows the war through his eyes. He is a soldier mostly for economic reasons, not because he has a particular position for or against the war. It details both the boredom and life threatening action of the Vietnam war.

Once again, a young adult author surprises me with a piece of hard hitting fiction transcending the inadequate categorizations that we try to slap on literature. At this point I don't know why I'm still surprised when I pick up a YA book and it blows me away with its authenticity and depth, but it keeps happening.

Walter Dean Myers has been writing YA, gritty, urban fiction for a long time and he is very, very good at it. He writes boy books for boys with African-American protagonists. I picked up a special anniversary edition of Fallen Angels last week while I was at the Tattered Cover Bookstore in Denver because I’d read Lockdown, his 2010 release, and loved it and the subject matter – the Vietnam War – interested me. I can still remember sitting around a table in the cafeteria in ninth grade talking to..more

Still involved in the Year of YA at Booklist listening to classics on audio. I won't be writing about all of them, but I thought this exceptional--and wonderfully narrated. Published in 1988, it's the story of Richie Perry, 17, whose dreams of college are dashed so he enlists in the army. It's 1968 and the Paris Peace Talks promise an end to the war--the soldiers keep thinking it will end soon. But it doesn't. Perry was supposed to have a desk job because of a knee injury but instead he's at the..more

Walter Dean Myers wrote the book Fallen Angels. It is about America and the Vietnam War. Well as said by the main character in the book, Richie Perry. He goes through a lot of changes and sees some of his good friends die in battle fighting for a cause that no one could agree upon. The book has 4 other main characters, Lobel, Johnson, Brunner, and Peewee. The book starts off talking about the experiences of Perry while he is serving in Vietnam. His best friend, Peewee becomes instant friends wit..more

It was a good book, with a good story to tell, but it also felt repetative and slow, but I guess in the case of our main character, slow, was a very good thing indeed.

War. Many think it is just a game. But to the men and women fighting, it is a living hell. U.S.A., 1960's, Perry is drafted into the U.S. Military, and sent to the front-line in Vietnam. Perry is a young African-American man, working towards getting to college. Perry's family lives in Harlem, whom have a military background. Perry never wanted to go into the military, his mother mainly the reason. The draft got him to go, of course right to the front-line. Facing a new group of friends, Perry le..more

Wow. Just..wow. Walter Dean Myers accomplishes the high-wire task of writing about war for a younger audience with all its attendant boredoms, brutalities, and nightmares while making the telling unnervingly easy to comprehend and the characters too easy to identify and sympathize with. Myers shows us the Vietnam war through the eyes of Perry, a young man whose enlistment seemed like his best option for a future, until he's actually in country. We are with him whether he's bonding or clashing w..more
Aug 22, 2011Erin Reilly-Sanders rated it really liked it · review of another edition
I was rather amazed at how real this book felt. The characters are all entertaining but it's their dialog that feels so real and honest that it draws the reader in. Myers was in Vietnam and, I assume, drew heavily on his own experiences for this book. While it is awful and violent, it isn't overwhelmingly so, often portraying the boredom of sitting around in camp and focusing more on the feelings of the characters rather than their actions. In fact, the mediation between feeling and action is ra..more

I picked up and put down this book several times before I finally forced myself to finish. The thing is, my little brother read this book and loved it. There are very few books Sam can claim to have read that I haven't and that meant I HAD to finish this one. I am not particularly fond of coming of age stories or war books and Fallen Angels is a very realistic story about coming of age in the midst of the Vietnam War. However, despite how much I disliked it while reading it, I find I enjoyed the..more

I had trouble getting into this book. I found this a really hard book to get through emotionally. I don't tend to pick up war books (in fact, I've started Sunrise Over Fallujah, also by Walter Dean Myers, about twice and couldn't get past the first ten pages or so), I think because of the inevitability of dying in the book and the notion of soldiers dedicating their lives for something that powers way above them are deciding. That being said, the book was well-written and thoughtful and heart-wr..more

The author of this book has very good description. In the beginning of the book, the main character and his squadron are on a patrol. One of the members doesn't pay attention, and steps on a mine. This is very shocking, because the author says that it was out of no where, the gut just exploded! But one down side is the cussing. Almost on every page there is a cuss word. And it can be really depressing. Half way through the book, the army finds 2 children and there mother. They start to be frien..more

As silly as it may seem, this book was just a little too real for me. So, in a way, that would indicate the writing is incredibly effective. However, it was painful to read. I hate war, and the story mostly just depressed me. I can't say anything against the writing, only the content.

Great vietnam book. Beautiful insight into the war. We were able to see the horrors that a soldier would experience in Vietnam. We see the good the bad and the ugly as rich perry wades through mud and dives into gunfire to save squad mates and team members. This book was very good and i gave it 5 stars. Mr. Meyers could not have done better. Come see me if you'd like spoilers.

You never know exactly what combat is like until you get there. Would you go knowing friends would be falling all around you? Imagine being in a strange land scared out of your mind. It's hot, muggy, sweaty and bug infested. That's Vietnam. They were thrown in this foreign place with no friendly faces to turn to for comfort.

If you have read the back cover or a brief summary of this book, I'd say you get what you expect. A seventeen year old unfortunately finds himself in the Vietnam War, after being unsure what to do with his life. And to add to this, his mother can't afford to send her son Richie to college. The plot is your typical emotional roller coaster. By that I mean there are connections made between the main character and his peers, but these connections are altered frequently by consequences of war (such..more

This book, Fallen Angels, was really good. This story was about soldiers in the Vietnam in 1967. The main character Richie graduated high school and realized that college was not the route for him. He decided that it was to expensive and got signed up for the army. He was with a small group of people and unfortunately had to watch some of his members get killed in this war.

I read this book a couple of times in junior high. It struck me so deeply that when recently reading In the Shadow of the Banyan Tree, it came to mind. I was curious to read something that I felt was so impacting during my formative years. It was just as engaging and fabulous as it had been all those years ago. It was very different reading it as an adult looking back on a17 year old rather than a young teen looking up.
It truly is a fabulous book that stands the test of time.

I decided to read 'Fallen Angles' by Walter Dean Myers due to its highly acclaimed reviews. I honestly thought it lived up to my expectations. I expected a heartfelt and suspenseful book about the Vietnam War. My grandfather fought in the Vietnam War and I thought I would understand his perspective a little better if I read this book. I had some background knowledge on the Vietnam War before I read the book so it was easy to understand what was going on during the intense battle scenes.

This was a cool story, but what I don't like about it is having to read with a pen in my hand to scribble out every f-word and n-word continually. This book uses practically every cuss word in the book repeatedly. That's this book's one problem.

I thought this book was going to be quite light-hearted; I was wrong. Some bits were amusing (i.e. anything involving Peewee) and some bits that were disturbing. I chatted with my mother throughout reading the book, and she told me all about the Viet Cong and the terrifying things they did. A fantastic novel for conveying the extremes of war.
