Front Lines by Michael Grant
Publication Date: January 26th, 2016
Publisher: Harper Teen
FRONT LINES is
the kind of story which you simply cannot put down. You get pulled into the
action, and are either constantly thinking about the stories, or actually
reading them. I was at first skeptical about the multiple perspective
narration, which follows different characters who are completely separate from
one another. I found, however, that in FRONT LINES, the characters are distinct
enough from each other, and their personalities are strong enough by themselves
that they hold their own; I didn't find myself frustrated or bored with their
stories. Grant has you follow the individual characters as they are changed by
the war, and become stronger not only in their physical endeavors in the war,
but also in their personalities. I loved FRONT LINES, and all my feelings of
hesitation, and uncertainty for the topics and themes raised, were not
warranted and I was impressed by just how well they turned out.
