I read this book in high school, and I enjoyed my first despite preconceptions due to a blanket that had but not so attracted to me at all. The story is captivating, especially since this is not fiction; history is staggering, because this is not fiction, and it's very well written. I found this book easy to read, it gives pause. I recommend it not only is a good book, but in addition they are things that must be remembered.
