This is on my daughter's summer reading list for this summer and since she just finished it, I will read it next. She read it in just a couple of hours and said it is a great read. She also said it is depressing and tragic. I am interested in seeing how it is so I will start it tomorrow I think.
Well it took me longer than expected to start this one. But my daughter had to read it for her English class and do a project on it. I had no idea what to do as far as her project goes so I decided to read the book so I could help her. WOW! That is all I can say. This was a powerful book about one man's experience in the concentration camps when he was a teenager. He was so strong and brave for his age and took such care of his father. I cannot begin to imagine the heartache and fear and pain and anger he felt. There will never be any words to express how awful that was for those people. I cannot even write a review about it because words fail me. But I will say it is a moving book that made me sad, angry, hopeful, and depressed all at once.
Definitely a book that teenagers should read. If it does not make you appreciate your family and how lucky you are, I don't know what will.
