Reader reviewed by Alex (Tales of a Teenage Book Lover)

I am kind of stuck on what I think about this book. It is about the holocaust, which fascinates me, so that boosts it's approval with me. Hmm...

I liked the story and the plot. It was a very cool mix between historical fiction and a memoir, which I actually enjoyed very much.

The characters didn't really connect with me because you see so little of them with it being such a short book (about 200 pages). I also found the writing style a little iffy because it doesn't go into very much detail, again because it was such a short book. Another problem I found was that you knew the ending when you started the book. It is told mostly in flashback, but switches to present occasionally.

If you like historical fiction, this is a must read, but if you don't... maybe hold off for a little bit.
