This is greatly an informative book living through Lale's life in Auschwitz, there is a good coverage of the overall journey however the story does lack some depth. Some events and incidents are mentioned briefly whereas the reader may be interested in more detail. As it was based of a true story there is great detail of the actual individuals and the lives they lived.
