Francis Joseph Cassavant is eighteen. He has just returned home from the Second World War, and he has no face. He does have a gun and a mission: to murder his childhood hero.

Francis lost most of his face when he fell on a grenade in France. He received the Silver Star for bravery, but was it really an act of heroism? Now, having survived, he is looking for a man he once admired and respected, a man adored by many people, a man who also received a Silver Star for bravery. A man who destroyed Francis's life

Evaluation Based On Books Heroes

This is another one of those books which my son brought home from school, apparently it is part of his GCSE English curriculum. I wasn't really looking forward to it and I was thinking it was just going to be a war thiller.Francis has come home from WW2 after suffering a horrendous disfigurement. He has his face covered in bandages and a scarf and goes back to the town where he grew up. Where other war veterans are thinking of ways to get their lives back together, Francis has other things on

This book was interesting and I thought that the characters were well introduced as we are given a lot of information for such a short book but overall it just wasn't my cup of tea.Francis signs up to become a soldier at the age of fifteen and is brutally injured when a bomb blows off his face. He returns home to Frenchtown and looks back on why he decided to fight for his country. Nicole his childhood sweetheart moved away from the town and he longs to find her again but it is hinted upon that

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.

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

Heroes Recently, I read a book called Heroes, by Robert Cormier. Robert is an American author and journalist known for his novels, which target young adults. His childhood life was mostly reading books, and staying home. Robert was the second of the eight children born to Lucien Joseph and Irma M.Cormier. He has won a number of awards and achievements. For instance, Robert won the Margaret A.Edwards Award, Phoenix Award from the the Childrens Literature Association, and many more, which

This books ending was seriously disappointing, at the end nothing was coming together, and I expected I had pages missing as the ending seemed to be incomplete. I wouldnt recommend this book at all. The time frames were all over the place, and I believe that they were always jumping around and unclear towards the story line, i wasnt a fan of the way Robert Cormier wrote the book.
