I've read a lot of complaints about this novel, both concerning the pace and the content. I think that's why it took me so long to finally decide to pick it up, and I have to say, I'm disappointed that it took me so long!

Many people seem to complain about the slow start and how it takes the first quarter of the book before they were really invested. That wasn't an issue for me at all; I started reading and didn't want to stop! There is a lot going on, which can be a little confusing at the begi ...more

Surprisingly, I really liked this book. There has been so much hype that I was concerned that it would be a let-down. It did not have the immediate grab that others have mentioned but it was non-putdownable shortly after it began. Yes, the girl has a variety of issues which are speculated, much later in the book, to be Aspergers. That just makes everything that happens when others took advantage of her even more sickening...if that is possible.

When I read about Nazi's they are usually German, n ...more
