Red Menace

Review by ANG833

I did not like this book. It had way too much violence. Although, that is my opinion. People who are like me~don't like violence, I don't recommend this book to you. People who are the opposite of me~don't mind violence, I recommend this book for you.

A good read

Review by Dloves2Read

I enjoyed that it wasn't too predictable. Learning more about communism from long ago made for a cool topic.
