dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This is the hardest book l've ever read. It's sad I'm 24 years old and this is the first and only time l've heard of this. It's even more sad that the stories and crimes in this book aren't even unique. This is something that's happening in our world right now. We don't learn about our history any more and that's why it repeats itself...

4.0

Such a difficult read,  so many tragic events to have happened to the Chinese people outlined in this book.  I struggled through certain sections and needed to reflect many times.  Iris Chang's writing style was compelling,  easy to work through and insightful.  One of those books that will stay with me for ages.
