5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST BOOK EVER!, 30 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Final Journey (Hardcover)
I'm am now 13 years old and read this book when i was about 12. I love learning about the Holocaust and i found this book to be very life like. I could accually put myself in each characters shoes. I cryed through alot of it but that is one of the things that made it great. If you cry through a book that means the author did a good job because you can accually feel what the characters are going through. I would recomend this book because it is frighteningly relistic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-breaking., 28 Sep 2002
By A Customer
I first read this book when i was fourteen. I couldn't put it down, i read it in one go, hiding under the duvet long after my parents had gone to bed so I could find out what happened to Alice. A new realisation about the world came through this book. 'The Final Journey' is intense and moving, the ending confirms Gudrun Pausewang's abilities as a writer. I find this book just as poignant today, don't be put off because it's a translation, it's a good one. If everyone in the world read this book maybe it would change how we treat each other, just a little.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book., 27 April 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Final Journey (Hardcover)
May people say this book is not for younger readers, which it isn't. It is sad, and It scared me. But theat doesn't mean it isn't good. I cried all through it. There is a lot of bathroom releted stuff, that I really didn't want to hear, but this is one of the best book written about the halcaust. I didn't care for number the stars and anne frank drained on, but this I couldn't put down. Schliender's List, the movie waws probably the best thing aboout them. I reccomand this for mature children, I am twelve, and I was crying but so scared. To be in a situation like that! Imagine it. No toilets, food, water, anything. This is a very moving book, and I suggest it too anyone.
