Add a CommentHonestly, I think it was an average historical fiction book. Yes, what Lina and the other Lithuanians went through is horrible, but so are what happens in other historical fiction books. The book seems to be fairly realistic and historically accurate, but I didn't find it particularly sad, moving, or original.
This is a great book not just becauses its good but it tells you a journey that a girl close to my age went on and how she never gave up no matter what happened to her. its a great book for young and old. it makes you want to cry at points and at others stand up and say your proud of who you are and no one can tell you diffent. i hope you enjoy!
This is the best book I have ever read! I love historical fiction books and this was perfect! It was such a moving book. I couldn't put it down. Everyone that is even a little interested in these kind of books should read this. It really opens your eyes on all the things that went on during the Holocaust. It was an AMAZING book!! I have recomended this book to all of my friends.
Ooops..I know what to do now... :)
This is a very powerful book! It is both heart-breaking and a tribute to the strength of the human spirit. Read it! But have tissues handy. My full review is available at: http://www.yalsa.ala.org/thehub/2012/07/30/finding-hope-amid-the-horror/
This is one of the best works of fiction that I have read in a long time. Even though this is a story of loss and extreme hardship, I found it to be quite inspiring and moving and in fact, hopeful. What I took from this book is that nothing is black and white (hence the title) and that one's ability to see things through another perspective is useful (and in this case, life saving).
very touching.... I had never even heard of the deportations until I read this book.
This book was heart breaking and moving. I loved it. I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Its was just.. wow...
A shocking, moving, beautifully written book about a time in history that doesn't have a firm place in American memory: Stalin's deportation and genocide of people from the Baltic States in the 1940s.
This is one of those books that moves you. I was absolutely hooked by page one. The thing with this story, is it really happened. I know that I am one of many people who had no idea that this happened before reading this book. I loved this book because I felt as if I was really there. The language used was beautiful, full of hope and dispair. The characters felt real to me as a reader, and I recommend this book to everyone. You won't regret reading this.
