"Here is the story of the boy next door, the one everybody thought was too young to get married, too callow to go to war.
In this book the reader becomes one with that boy, lives and grows with him, understands him completely.
His contemporaries will delight in the fine, sensitive writing that records with so much sympathy and intelligence experiences like their own. Each boy will find something of himself in Gordon Taylor; each girl will see much of herself in Julia Farnsworth, his sweetheart. Everybody knows somebody like Gordie's pal, Tooky Seeley, or El, the man Gordie fought beside on Tarawa.
The older reader will recall his earlier, sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic, always important self. He'll remember his first days at kindergarten, school or college, his first romance, his first explorations into the mysteries of birth, love, death.
In this warm, full story of a boy who was very young to fight in World War II is further proof that the American Boy is no stereotyped pattern, but a very real and individual person who grows up into a very real and individual man."
