This memoir of an 18-year-old kid from North Carolina who is drafted after one year of college and sent to Burma is a fascinating account of his army life. The daily boredom and intermittant activity, combined with Davis' chronicling of his training and the men he worked with make for entaining and touching reading. Those who shared the World War II experience are diminishing in number, which makes accounts like this all the more valuable.

The book "A flag at the pole" is pretty good. Its a really cool book. At some times its exciting and at other times it gets boring. The reason i like this book is because it is weird. Its about 4 people that go to the North Pole and get really lost. they are from Britain. Their names are Jack, Maria, Joey, and Beth. They try to get home but they run into a lot of trouble. In the story they run into a polar bear that is really big but they.......... you have to read the book to find out what happens. The book has many exciting parts. I like the polar bear part the best. There are a lot of more problems than what I wrote. They run into deer, storm, and a lot of other things. THis book was pretty fun to review. I am done with the review now so take this book out at the library a.s.a.p. because it is a really great book
