Rating:  Summary: Not as good.. Review: Not as great as the original, but then again sequels never really are, now are they? This novel though does let you know what more happens to our characters. I was disappointed, but nonetheless, it still wasn't half bad.

Rating:  Summary: HOW DISAPPOINTING! Review: Okay, this was pretty lame compared to SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER. You have to read it to know what I'm talking about. There're are all these stupid conversations and arguments. And I know I shouldn't say this, especially since a lot of peeps haven't read the book, but when Patty gets to Anton's house his mother is dead so she just leaves. CAN'T PATTY TAlK WITH ANTON'S FATHER??? This really doesn't make sense. I mean, even if all she was searching for was a "real mother," Patty still could have told Mr. Reiker who she was so that he'd know, not just walk away!!! This was a very disappointing book, but I gotta say, if you've read SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER, you have to read this, just to know what happens.

Patty has to travel to Germany to find Anton's family. She does this by using the money her grandparents gave her for college. On her way to Germany Patty is sidetracked by Roger. Patty and Roger ended up falling in love. A few more things sidetrack Patty before she has a chance to go to Germany. Then Patty decides to go to Germany.

It may help you understand the book better.*
Rating:  Summary: Patty is ready to travel and get away from her family. Review: Patty Bergen returns in the sequel to Summer of my German Soldier as an eighteen-year-old. She leaves her mentally and physically abusive family behind to find the parent's of her dead "Nazi friend." Before she goes to find her dead friend's parents, she goes to France where she falls in love with a man named Roger. Suddenly she leaves Roger to go on her hunt. I liked the first book better because it has more actions and emotions than this one.

Rating:  Summary: A beautiful story Review: the story is wonderful the way patty falls in love with roger is very romantic. The only part that made me sad is that patty treats ruth like a stranger even though she is like her mother. I highly recommend this book it will leave you wit a feeling of love, anger,confusness,and you have the feeling you are there where the story is being told.
Rating:  Summary: A story of love and kindness. Review: This book is an intriguing sequal to Summer of My German Soldier. After young Patty Bergen graduates high school, she decides to travel abroad despite her parent's disapproval. Her first stop was Paris, where she wished to relax and learn more about the life of the French. Here, she runs into a man named Roger, whom she befriends and falls deeply in love. As weeks go on, she becomes extremely close to Roger, but faces up to her real task, going to Germany in search of the mother of the Nazi soldier she tended to one summer in secrecy. Because the solider was killed, she vowed to find his family.She leaves Roger with a rocky departure and heads to Germany. This story ends rather abruptly. I was not very impressed with this book, because it lacked detail and was not very exciting. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a short, simple story.
Rating:  Summary: A Disappointing Sequel Review: This book is the sequel to the wonderful Summer of My German Soldier. After reading that tragic story in seventh grade English, I was going to immediately read Morning... but when I saw a synopsis of the story I held back from reading it because I haven't completely gotten over Anton yet. Anyhow, a few years have passed and I finally got some time to read this book--let's just say I should have spent that time doing something more constructive. First of all, the plot itself is weak. Why would patty want another mother figure? Isn't Ruth good enough for her? If she wants to find a connection with Anton, **SPOILER alert here** why did she turn back after she meet with Mr. Reiker? Can't she talk with him about Anton? Patty also spends way to much time in Jenkinsville withstanding the same hardships she had to endure in the first book. It became kind of repetitive after 10 pages. Patty herself has also became extremely annoying. She has suddenly gotten very introspective and has to tell the reader every single one of her thoughts and feelings. Despite what anton has taught her, Patty still severely lacks self respect--as demonstrated by her relationships to guys like Michael and Roger. Anyhow... I do not recomment reading this book--instead, reread Summer of My German soldier because the only good parts of this book are the parts when they link back to the events of the first book.
