My Reviews
Our book club really liked this book. It was educational as many of us didn't know specifics about Chechnya. We all agreed that his writing was beautiful and we liked the story. At times the time line was confusing. In the end, we thought that we all appreciate what we have and the lives we are able to live.
This is the first book our club read that ALL of the members liked! It was so interesting to read a book from this perspective.
The entire book club enjoyed the book. There were some aspects that we found unbelievable. We thought there was something missing at the end.
The entire book club agreed that this was a great book. Nobody guessed the twist and we all loved the character development.
Everyone in the club liked this book. We were all intrigued by the premise and surprised by some of the information. It was a page turner; easy read. It provided great material for our discussion.
The book club enjoyed the book overall but everyone agreed it was too long and that parts of it seemed to be contrived. The author took too long to reveal the mystery and by that time it seemed predictable. That being said, we all enjoyed the plot overall.
Our book club unanimously agreed that this was a great book. A quick read, very interesting and timeless.
All of the club agreed that the writing was good and it kept our interest. Sometimes the number of characters was confusing, especially in the beginning. Not many, maybe one, were sympathetic and overall it was a pretty depressing read.
We all enjoyed the book, although we wished it had been more about the relationship between Carl and Joe. It got a bit melodramatic at the end, maybe unbelievable.
Every member of our club loved this book. So educational but not written in a way that was difficult to understand or dry. The author brought humanity to the story and told the family's story in such a way that we all felt great empathy for them and wanted to learn more about them.
