American War by Omar El Akkad
What can I say about American War by Omar El Akkad? It's set in the future around 2075. There is an American civil war going on. Global warming has submerged a large portion of our country. The concept intrigued me. I felt as though the author could have done so much with the story. However, he didn't really. It was basically just a story of revenge. Revenge that begets revenge to be more specific. The ending was especially disappointing to me. I just really saw no purpose to the book other than the revenge angle. It was annoying for me, but if you like a good revenge story, then maybe give this one a try. For me, it was a 2 out of 5 stars.
