The parts of this book that were good were really good, but I felt like there were also some pretty slow moments. Overall, a good book.

This book is devastating, engaging, moving, surprising. It's so well-written and there's so much to think about. A hard read, but a must read.

An incredibly moving story. It bothered me a little to find it was completely fiction, but based on real events. The author masterfully injects a tragic fiction onto a tragic reality. This book was really good in that it made me think about the story enough to make it difficult to sleep. I only give it a 4 instead of a 5 because some sentences were difficult to parse, so I guess I found the form lacking in places. At the same time I strongly recommend it.
