Somebody, Please Tell Me Who I Am, by Harry Mazer, Peter Lerangis

3.0

You should know a little about what you'd be getting yourself into before you start to read this book. It's not your typical YA book about a young man who goes off to war. "Somebody, Please Tell Me Who I Am" has a short period at the beginning of the story to tell who is who and their relationships. Things seem to change quickly before the young man, Ben, goes off to war. I don't think I'm giving away much to say he is wounded. This is where the story changes from most. This story not only goes into his healing but the healing of his family and friends who must come to grips with Ben's handicaps and loss of memory. It shows the strength of relationships to Ben and the breakdown of those relationships around him, due to his new condition. So, I'd say its a bit of an unusual read, but one that many people should read to get a better understanding of what a wounded soldier might be going through upon coming home.
