Ali...I can't say that I would recommend reading it. Alice Anson seems to write boring, rather weak heroines. It's okay in The Dormitory Mystery because the secondary characters are so good, but it's just tedious in this book. <BR/><BR/>The most interesting person was actually Steve the Hometown Hero, who talked a lot about his training and what he got out of his job. Then I realized that, hey, this is still total propaganda, just more interestingly written. Since this book was published in 1941, very soon after we entered the war, it must have really been cranked out. I suspect this is why the character development is so lousy. With a little more polish, the rest could be more like the Steve parts.<BR/><BR/>I may try some of my Mildred Wirt single titles next--I'm in the mood for some great new secondary characters. The only single titles I've read by her are Connie Carl (mediocre) and Kristie at College/Quarry Ghost (my absolute favorite Wirt title).Lenorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866449434740350921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7680736308167100597.post-54603951743294131672009-04-05T15:40:00.000-04:002009-04-05T15:40:00.000-04:00This is a good review.

While I own this book, I have not read it. <BR/><BR/>I had to laugh at your mention of the kind of people who would land here because of the mention of Hitler. It probably will cause some interesting types to visit this page. <BR/><BR/>I use my Google Analytics account to look at the search terms people have used to get to my site and blog. "Sara Gay" brings in some interesting results. I'm sure you can figure out why. I also have noticed that a few people seem to be searching for risque stuff with little boys and girls.
