Review by Paul Lappen (190304) Rating (9/10) Review
by Paul Lappen My favorite piece in the book, called "Give Peace a Chance," tells the story of the end of apartheid in South Africa in language that any young person can understand. Another must-read piece, "Eco-Wolf and the War Pigs," is an allegory for the younger reader. I am not much of a poetry lover, but I really enjoyed the poems in this book. Is
"extraordinary" too strong a word? Not in this case.
As far as history class in school is concerned, the average young
person may think that there hasn't been a war since 1945. This
book is very highly recommended for just such a young person who
is becoming aware of the wider world out there. It's also recommended
for older people. |
