kimayoda's review against another edition

dark sad medium-paced

5.0

i cried over this book, and i wish i could’ve cried more. i’ve read a lot of books set during WWII, but this is the first one that highlights the possible suffering and struggles of germans in that time. personally i wouldn’t consider the book a YA level, because it was traumatic for me.
