I liked this book. I'm a bit bummed because I don't think it came even close to living up to the hype I had heard about it... I had a hard time really getting into the book at first because of the format- I'm usually not a fan of books that switch between different character stories for each chapter. At times, I found that I had either confused the characters, or just lost interest, and needed to go back a bit. The overall story was interesting though! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in stories during times of war. However, I would not re-read this book.
