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

This book I thought moved very slow. It was alright. It had a good plotline with much detail, and although it was slow moving, it kept my interest. Maybe there was a little too much detail. These kind of books interest me a little. My favorite part was when they were decribing there times in the concentration camp.
