4.0

Although fictionalized, the book does do a decent job describing the horrors of concentration camps. I’ve only read about “regular” prisoners but this is set with a special prisoner as the main. Not a sympathizer but maybe a little pragmatic about saving himself and those he cares about. I do think it was a good story about humans keeping hope and surviving when faced with impossible odds.
