I've read it over and over again and it still makes me cry every time!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This book was very captivating.
I thought this book was very interesting. One of the reasons I liked this book is because it tells about partisans who fought against the Nazis. All the events in this book are descriptive. Reading about what different things the partisans did was very interesting and exciting.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This book was slow moving but had a lot of action.

These kind of books interest me a little. My favorite part was when they were decribing there times in the concentration camp.
