Book Review of If I Should Die Before I Wake

If I Should Die Before I Wake


This book is a great read. It really takes you into the eyes of a girl who has to live through the war and the concentration camps. It makes you wonder what you would do to survive and if you could have the mindset to go through it.

The first chapter of the book focuses on Hilary who is all about the Nazi party and hurting Jews and she is from the present day. She gets invovled in an accident while coming back from one of her anti-Jewish acts and ends up in a Jewish hospital in a coma. In her coma she sees the life as Chana as a Jew.

The first chapter of the book is very very confusing, but skim past it if you need to, the rest of the book is very rich and detailed and a wonderful read. It will make you cry and cheer and feel the same emotions that the characters do.
