An extreamly fast paced narrative that rarely pauses to let you catch your breath, but as long as there is breath, there is hope.

I absolutely LOVED this book and devoured it. I decided to give a few points off because I would have loved to learn more about more of the supporting characters, but I can see why Johnson didn't go further with some of them. This was a short read (which was part of what made it so great for me) and it would have been much longer had she added more character history.
This book was so well written and incorporated so much history and truth, making this book a must-read!
