carsillewatters's review against another edition

dark emotional informative reflective tense medium-paced

4.5

This book was very well done from beginning to end, keeping me at the edge of my seat, but it is definitely a very emotional book that you have to be in the right mindset for because due to the historical context of the book it can be draining.
