this book was one of my favorites in high school, and i can see why. it’s a tough, thought-provoking, and moving read with a main character who is so important (even though she would hate to be described that way).

'you criminal. you deserve to die.'
- 'everybody has to die. i prefer to die from a crime i have committed rather than to die for one of the crimes which you have committed.'
a tale filled with great horrors, pain and truth.
this book was very special, something i've never read before, and wise in an unconventional type of way.
i liked the story in its simple complexity, but the pacing threw me off quite frequently. the storyline and structure were sort of jumpy and the lifeless ease with which the events were described took away most of the impact.
an important story, but the writing style was not for me.
