I didn't read it.
I chose the rating at random. I read only the first few pages of the book and didn't like the language or subjects treated. I didn't read the remainder of the book.

I felt like a kid all over again!!!
I was transported back to childhood while reading 'Gus.' It dislodged memories and childhood thought processes long-forgotten. I laughed... I cried... I remembered. Although Gus lived his childhood a generation before me, our thoughts and feelings were exactly the same. I found the historical events occurring during this time fascinating as well. Thank you Martin Vlain for the memories!!!! I loved your book!!!
