First off, I enjoyed that this book was written by someone close to home here in Illinois!
Now for the review:
When faced with the worst terrorist attack the United States
has ever faced, what would you do?
For a small group of high schoolers from Ridgewood,
Illinois, their plan is to travel to Turkey and join the Peace Corps to try to
spread the word of God and the Bible to the terrorists.
Redemption.
Does redemption work on those whose souls are black and dead
inside? Simon and his Little Js can only hope so, otherwise they could end up
dead by the hands of a highly dangerous terrorist organization.
This novel reads sort of like a movie. It seems like a
YA/teen movie where the young characters are the hero of a story. I believe it
is written this way because it is not a 100% serious book, which is first seen
through the different personalities of the characters.
If you like movies/books with young powerful lead
characters, I believe this would be a good read for you.
What I really enjoyed about it was the short chapters, that
will stand out to me in any book I read. I love that writing style, and I feel
it helps keep my interest. I finished the whole thing in two sittings, it went
pretty quick, and it wasn’t dull.
And don’t forget, Remember Patience.
5/5 stars. The writing style was great, and the story
certainly takes you on a journey.
