This book made me reflect on the way we view the world, who is the true villain, and what people will do when they don’t think they have any other choice. Jim is a good person who was forced to do bad things in order to save the people he loved. But was what he was doing really bad or was it just him fighting against the injustice he faced for his entire life.
