Was a good book but it didn’t make me go wow. I’d recommend it to people, but it wouldn’t ever be my first choice I don’t think I’ll rave about it to people

I couldn't put this down. As harrowing as the events that take place are this is a beautiful story of one mans survival and cunning that not only kept him alive but helped others survive. His determination o survive only grew as he fell in love and it shows that even when the worst horrors are occurring that love can still blossom and create light in dark times.
