This book is a really awesome book to read it's full of excitement and action.i really enjoyed reading why I fight it wasn't a hard book to read it was a clear book and no high vocabulary words like other books and it was verry detailed. I recommend why I fight to people who likes science fiction and action. What shocked me about this book was that Wyatt (character) that's going thru all that and his struggle.
