American War by Omar El Akkad was another one of my favorite book from my 2018 book list. (Uncommon Type is still my favorite.) Although it’s thick and heavy, it makes for a great airplane read.

My Review
American War starts of a little slow, but not in the way that makes you want to put it down. About half way through is when things start to fall into place. I looked forward to going to bed early so I had more time to read. Some of the parts skip several years but it’s easy to pick right back up. The ending was sort of sad but closed the book (pun intended) on any open questions. I recommend it!
