review 1: As one would expect from a historical fiction novel about life in a concentration camp, this book was hard to read at times and overall was pretty gloomy and depressing. Nonetheless, it kept my attention for sure and was a quick read. There is this love story element to it, which I don't think was really necessary, and in my opinion takes away from the social studies/historical learning that this book could offer. I still think this is a worthy title to have in a classroom library or to book talk with students interested in the topic.2/3
review 2: 5 STARS!!!!! I was thrilled when I found this book on goodreads. I'm into WW2 and all Hitler did, and this was a perfect book for it. A Jewish falling in love with the commandment's son? Forbidden love at the extreme.... more The history written in this book is on point. The pain is heartfelt and palpable. Great research the author did. BUT THE ENDING.......... I wanna know what happens to Hanna and Karl!!!!!! less
