I really enjoyed this book, even though it's not really my kind of book. There is a lot of violence, which is pretty brutal in my opinion. I read this book because my boyfriend recommended it, and I can totally get why he liked it so much. I'm just a bit more emotional and sensitive I think. Anyway, the book is great, and I think I will continue with this series. I like the fact that it is based on a true story, so I feel like I'm educating myself on a topic I really didn't know anything about. So yeah, I recommend this if you're mature enough to read about topics such as war and rape, and have an interest in learning more about this part of history.
