Full Review from my blog Owl Eyes Reviews

I’ve had this book forever. And, when I say forever, I mean, FOREVER. I bought this book at my eighth grade book sale. I am now freshman in college. I picked this one up because I was afraid that if I didn’t read it soon, I would not have an interest in reading in the point of view of someone so young.
I enjoyed this book but not as much as I think I would have when I was younger. I was very interested in what was happening in this book but I didn’t really enjoy reading from this perspective. I would have enjoyed it a lot more in a more mature voice. So, I’m pretty much saying that I’m getting older and I would rather read something written for an older audience.
I do think that Dear America books could be good as as a means of education for middle grade aged kids. I do not know if I will use there in my teaching environment in fear of bias, but I will be looking into it.
Good book, just not written for me.
