"The Wall" is a patriotic book. It was easy to read; that made me understand how the Vietnam War turned out in the end.The boy and his father try to find the grandfather's name on the Vietnam Wall memorial when they pass many other names. When the father reads the names on the wall, the boy imagines each name as a real person, standing next to him and talking to him.If you are interested in the Vietnam War and how people sacrificed their lives fore us, then "The Wall" would be a good book for you to read.I gave this four stars out of five because I found the book to be very moving. If you like books about wars, then you'll like "The Wall."
