This book was amazing and really adventurous. It really shows how many people lost their lives to save the Pearl Harbor. The people that died that day will be honored for ever for what they have done. This book really highlights all the amazing things the people did. Definitely recommend it to everyone.

It was a pretty good book, and pretty sad. It was sad to know that all of those terrible things happened to those people. A lot of people had died that day, and it was not a good time. Most of the planes and the ships were destroyed, but people still tried there best to hit down the other Planes.
