Rating: 3.5 out 5
Comments: Quick read, good, interesting story, but definitely some criticisms. I enjoyed the fresh take on the Holocaust, and the way the tone of the story was heavy without being overly depressing. I didn't care for the complete naivety of the main character, but could accept it as important to the integrity of the story. I would recommend it, but don't expect it to be a life changing book.
