Criticize Regarding Books Heroes

I really enjoyed this book by Cormier - The dark theme that runs through the book is quite haunting.The book starts with the protagonist, Francis Cassavant describing his injuries and how his face is disfigured from injuries after returning home from the war. He returns a hero, although he hides his identity as he has mission to enact a plan to the kill the man who only he knows of his evil.The story moves back to before the war when Larry Lasalle arrives in Frenchtown and is loved by everyone.

ROBERT CORMIER-- Investigates the nature of sin and justification. They call Cormier a YA Lit genius. He's a dark dark writer, and this book is probably appropriate for the 16 and older crowd. But Heroes probably boasts the most redeemable characters. Good read. Real short-- every word counts.

Cormier, Robert (1998). Heroes. New York: Delacorte Press. 135 pages.Summary and Evaluation: After three years fighting in World War II, Francis Cassavant returns home a mangled, faceless Silver Star war hero. He still has one final mission though to find and eliminate the childhood hero who destroyed his life. The reasons for this intense hatred are unraveled through the main characters flashbacks and examine the nature of heroism and cowardice, betrayal and revenge.I really enjoyed this book

This book was the second of my GCSE texts. Given my prior enjoyment of 'Of Mice and Men' and my fondness for war books, I was quite looking forward to reading this, and dived eagerly into it straight away.However, after that first reading, I came away disappointed- the book was not what I had expected at all.Young soldier, Francis Cassavant, has just returned to Frenchtown after World War ll horribly maimed and disfigured.With only the clothes on his back, and gun in his bag, Francis is set on
