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.

I understand what the author was trying to accomplish, however this book didn't hit the mark. The story is very compelling and I think that another author would've been able to bring it to life. This is not a bad book but it's not exceptional either.
