Yellowstar

So I finished Yellowstar lastnight. Theverse style  allowed me to read easily and fluidly making the book a very easy read as far as actual picking words of the page. It was a very difficult book to read as far subject matter is concerned. Comparing it to Breadwinner, it was fairly simple. Nothing to deep or introspective. The horrors were laid out for what they were. I don't even know what else to say about it, it is just terrible. One thing, it does remind me that we are never safe. one day our lives can be normal, and they next....crazy, but I do truly believe something like this could happen again. But the children, that is the one part I can't get over. i admired all those that hid their children and went through great measures (sleeping in a hole in a graveyard!) to safe them. I could not imagine. I can't see any parent having to deal with that. Walking into the library today, i was in the kid's section with my kids and I saw a book on the return shelf and it was "Children of the Slaughter" a book about children of the Holocaust. I scanned it for Syvia but did not see her name :( I was amazed to discover at the end that they lived in Rochester when they came to America!! That was so exciting to me! and it said her son went to one of the best school district in the country! (RCSD? Maybe in the 70's!) Anyways, good, heartwrenching read.....at least this one had a happy ending...kind of..
Looking forward to starting Crank later!
