I'm half way through Between Shades of Gray and I'm having a hard time emotionally going through it. It's an excellent book though, I think I can finish it but my heart aches with every page I read.
This book is great, when I started reading it I didn't think I could go through with it; it made me cry with every page I turned. I thought I would give it 3 stars but the more I read and hung on, my rating increased. Yes, it's hard to read about the horrors inflicted upon others but it's a story that needs to be told again and again so we don't forget how privileged we are to have the freedoms we enjoy today. I gave it 5 stars. At the end I thought the author was going to leave me hanging not knowing whether Lina and her little brother would ever be freed or die frozen in that Siberian forced labor camp. Not knowing is the worst. Have plenty of tissues handy, you are going to need them but it is worth it.
