4.0

i read this book for school and really enjoyed it.  the history was so interesting and so was the family's perspective. my only comment was that i often got confused with names and places, as there are lots of new characters introduced. it took me a long time to read and i found some sections very intense, but that is just the historical context. still a really interesting novel.
