  I am currently reading World War 2 by: Elizabeth Raum. I really like this book because its in history that is important to the whole world. Another thing I like about this book is that it has every detail of important facts about the War. I do not like that this book had a lot of fighting and dying. I think that this World War is something good to look back at and not make the mistake to having a World War 3. To me one of the most important people in this book is a Medic/Doctor because if a soldier has gotten injured then the Medic can help them by giving them medicine or bandages. Since this book is not fiction, I can't say who my favorite character is. Overall I would give this book four out of five stars.

  Once again, my child enjoyed reading time with me, while learning important parts of history. We always read this series of choose your own adventures together and we like to read through all of the choices. The good writing and interesting facts and scenarios help make this is a fun experience.

  I liked this book, but it didn't hold too much of my interest. I did apperciate how you could chose any path, and your journey could be over. Just like war, any decision can lead to death.

  I am so excited to have come across this series. It's a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type series about historical time periods or events. I teach high school history, but many of my students have quite low reading levels. I feel like this is a fun alternative/addition to strict textbook reading. In this book ,we can start at the beginning, choose to follow the American soldiers, and suddenly we're on a ship at Iwo Jima. Like in the fiction series (and in real life), one wrong choice can lead to instant or painful death. There are photos from the events and places, and plenty of background knowledge to beef up their understanding. And it's a book we can read again and again, choosing new paths each time. I'll update this after I actually use this with students, to see if it will work as well as I hope.
  
  Update: While my students weren't exactly as tickled as I was with the book, they did participate and want to play the game. I will definitely use this again, and hope I can squeak out some money to buy some of the books in the series.

  In this book when you read a page it on the bottom it will tell you if you want to go or not to go. So the first time I read I got shot in the leg but I survived. You can also get a job like to be in the Nazi Party or the Navy or you can choose that or be a doctor to help wounded soldiers. I think this book is really good and everyone should read it. If you like picking what you want to be I would read this book!

  We are loving this series. Whomever came up with choose your own adventure history was a genius. It makes history come alive for my kiddos (besides teaching perspective, decision making, and that there are consequences to each action/decision). I want to read WW II On the Home Front and Japanese American Internment next with them to make a WW II history unit.

  I liked the way this book was interactive and you could choose your own adventure, but it was also confusing because of that. There are 57 choices! 57! Yes, I finally read all of them and enjoyed the book!

  This book was really neat because you got to choose which side you where on based on real life events. Although, there where to many happy endings.
