American War by Omar El Akkad
2.0

2.5 stars

I really wanted to enjoy this story more, however, it did not suck me in. This book had a great narrator, and the manner in which it was told is something I usually really enjoy. Unfortunately, I did not feel connected to Sarat or Martina or any other character other than Benjamin. Maybe it is because I listened to the audiobook and I would have loved it way more if I actually read it. Because I felt more connected to Benjamin I got to enjoy part 4 a lot more.
