Book Review- Wounded By: Eric Walters

     Wounded is about a boy named Marcus, whose father is a part of the Canadian special forces unit located in Afghanistan. Marcus lives on a military base. When I first started reading this book, i thought it would be another war story, but boy was I wrong. This book provided an insight on how war is really like, not for the soldier itself, but for their family. Always on the edge of their seats. When reports of deaths come, you're praying it's not your dad or husband. Even when soldiers come back they still aren't the same, beating their wives, abusing their kids, drinking every night. 
    Wounded really focuses on soldiers' post traumatic stress disorder. Some people think that after soldiers come back they live a normal life. But the fact stands, that they aren't the same. They change for the worse. we all stand for our two minute of silence on November 11th, but do we really know what it means? 
    This book was needed to inform people on how it feels to have an immediate family member at war, where they could be dead any second. It affects the family as much as it affects the soldier himself.
