bejeweledmeli's review against another edition

Overall not great writing or especially deep. Why tell from the nazi perspective if you’re not going to explore the parents that ultimately make the decisions. The movie was actually better

This book was a little bit overrated in my opinion. I was sad but i didnt bawl like i expected . I am going to read the ending again but what can i say this must have been difficult to write and i give the author credit for that :)
