While the topic is very important and well-presented, the writing style just didn't suite me. Unlike many other reviewers I have read from, I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary-feeling for many parts of the book. I felt that the whole postcard prlot was unnecessary and I really couldn't connect with the emotionality of the second part of the story. Again, this is subjective, and more on me for being pretty cold and emotionless, but I got downright frustrated at some points in the story. However, the biographical parts were great for me, and my overall ratimg is a sort of average between the good parts and the grating parts.
