SRP 2010 REVIEWS (3): #1) I found it very interesting. I am very fascinated by the Holocaust, and it really told me a lot. I am a big fan of history. I just wish the book wasn't a huge poem. I would rather have it in paragraphs like an actual story. It would be easier to follow. #2) A real work of art but it is sad to think this is a real story. This book was written through the eyes of Syvia who was just a young child when world war two broke out, and till she was ten all she saw was hatred for jewish people like herself. This book shows you how it feels to live in war world two and how it was to be jewish at a time like this. But even though this book is sad, the ending might make you cry with happiness. Who knew a piece of chocolate could spread that much joy in the end! #3) it is very good and I would recomend this book to anyone.
