Finally, the story ends with the three in North Africa with the way paved for the sequel, Silver Stars. It then progresses to their basic training. The story opens with the three girls – all from different areas of the United States and strangers to each other – enlisting in the Army. The attitudes of the time are not whitewashed. The characters experience sexism, racism and anti-semitism. It asks the question, what if women served in combat roles alongside men, as they do today? And so, it examines this idea from the perspective of three main characters – Rio Richlin, Frangie Marr, and Rainy Schulterman. Specifically, it is a new take on World War II.
Michael Grant’s Front Lines reimagines history. Well, my intentions were good, but wow, this book really took hold of me and blew my hopes of slowing down right out the window. I was hoping to get my need to review queue down a little bit.
I picked it up off my shelf because I thought it would take me awhile to read and thus give me time to complete a few book reviews. I am a bit shocked at how quickly I whipped through it. Front Lines by Michael Grant was actually a pretty engaging and good read.
