The time period has always fascinated and haunted me, and to see how much research Anne Blankman must have done is wonderful. Really tense, gritty atmosphere, and the last 20% had me TERRIFIED. Very excited for the sequel! <br /><br />By the way, have you read Night by Elie Wiesel?

It is meant to horrify and pain you, and it really underscores how dangerous Gretchen's world is.

God, I still want to reread this. My knowledge of history around this time in Germany is a little rusty, but Blankman's massive bibliography made me feel like I didn't need to care. The way you can tell how much research and work went into this book is just amazing. <3 This book needs some major push and I need a copy to cuddle to my bosom.Ashleigh Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340582534158708575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-79672634253713473452014-04-24T19:23:21.679-04:002014-04-24T19:23:21.679-04:00Yes!
