After reading Ann Rinaldi's latest upcoming book The Last Full Measure before I picked up Time Enough For Drums, I must say that the books are very likely, even the names of some characters where very much the same!
The story just wasn't it for me. It was interesting to read the historical facts between the lines, as I am a fan of historical fiction this wasn't an issue. But the story just bored me when I was halfway through it and like I said before, the thought 'I have read this book already' came up. Very good to do if this is one of your first times you pick an Ann Rinaldi novels.
