A review by chloelliss
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
5.0
This book is traumatising and heart wrenching, my heart pains for everyone that was in their situation.
It was beautifully written, and the characters had so much depth to them.
Lina was a strong character, who actually had personality and strong beliefs. The first person narrative actually brought another insight to her character, actually bringing something to the table. This differs to the first person narrative read in other books recently, which felt more like it came to a dead end. This story definitely needed that personal touch, especially that of a rebellious young girl.
Please read this, it truly gives you another horrific viewpoint of WW2 that people seem to forget about.
