3.5

I give this book 3,5 stars not because I didn’t like it or because it was too sad to be enjoyable but because it is outdated. Reading this was hard because I had to constantly remind myself that these were real people most of who are still alive today and still remember seeing their families being murdered by friends and neighbors. Reading about all the guilty people denying anything happened was depressing as well. Overall I am glad I read it though because I only knew that the genocide happened, not how, why, or what happened afterwards.Also I want to add that this book made me very angry at times, because of how everyone that could help ignored this, and the way Rwandans who could help others chose not to or chose to kill.
