I really thought this was going to be an interesting book, but it was a struggle for me to get through. I think that it could have been edited better to not be so much. Also there were times where I felt like I was getting information cut. It's like just because you can describe ever little detail doesn't mean it is necessary: less is more in many ways. All in all it was wonderful to read about this Jewish underground in Poland and the fight that so many polish citizens put up. I was also kind of under the impression that the zoo animals would have survived some how and they kept raising them. I should have known better, but there you are. This is really an inspiring story, but it just wasn't executed well.
