Very compelling read. This author tells a very grim story and tells it well. Because it is based on truth it it is that much more interesting and disturbing. I enjoyed the story and felt so much sympathy for the characters. If an author can dredge up so much emotion from his writing then he is a true artist and I believe Michael is that author.

I’ve read a lot of books about the camps and this one gave so many details I didn’t know. I was a child during that time and heard adults talking about it and it frightened me. I’m just finishing the third book and it’s hard to put down.
