Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer smajor_jmajor
The graphic novel Refresh Refresh is about three boys:
Cody, Josh, and Gordan. Their dads are all Marine
Reservists who have been shipped off to fight in Iraq. The
boys want to make their fathers proud, but it's difficult
for them to become men without their fathers there as role
models. The boys fight after school to make them tougher
and stronger. They are always on the computer checking to
see the news in Iraq and to see if their dads have emailed
them. The surprise at the end puts the boys in shock and
they end up joining the armed forces.
In my opinion,
this was a very informing novel on how some people really
feel. It made me branch out and put my feet in someone
else's shoes. I've never even thought about what it would
be like to live growing up without my dad because he's
always been there. It was different than the other books
I've read because it was a graphic novel, but I enjoyed
reading it. I would suggest this book to other people so
they could learn what I learned from reading it.
This
book has curse words in it. It also talks about sex,
killing someone, and violence between friends.
