I enjoyed this book tremendously but this does not mean I had a hard time getting through some sections. I am interested in WWII so this book was right up my alley. I did find that I would get so wrapped up in the book that I needed to keep a "fluffy" book on hand to switch between to help alleviate the mood. I would very much recommend this book to others. ( )

This book is not for the faint of heart. While it's not particularly graphic, it's still greatly depressing.

This book is written by a French woman who actually spent time in German labor camps during WWII. It's hard to read about the pain and torture that these people had to go through.

It's an important historical piece and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the WWII era. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking for a quick lighthearted read. Agnes's words will stay with you long after you've put the book down. ( )

I wasn't sure I'd like the style of this book, so non-traditional, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It caught my interest immediately and was a quick read despite the length. ( )
