Some books are just not for people. I read this has part of the Read Your Own Adventure quest. I found it very confusing. The timelines and events kept flitting erratically. Also there was no mention of a diary right until the end, you weren't even aware he was writing one. If people like historical fiction they will enjoy this. It was detailed with the events of the camp, how people were treated and how they felt. Some events were sad and not nice to read.
