Summary: All But My Life
Review: After I read this book I had to evaluate how I actually handled events that I felt were "overwhelming" in my own life. This story , from the very beginning, is so well described with feeling that I could feel and see exactly what the author had experienced. I have referred this book to all my friends.

Summary: If for nothing else, read this book for Abek
Review: It is a wonderful depiction of the horrors of war and the story is heroing. I found the characters surrounding Gerda amazing, selfless and wonderful. It's full of fear, confusion, hatred, love and all the other emotions WWII brought out in everyone. Abek makes the book unique and lovely, an amazing interlude from the atrocities. As with all holocaust memoirs, I can't help but be racked with questions about the war. I loved this book, but I felt no deep connection to the main character and therefore,I can not classify it as one of my favourite books.

Summary: An Excellent Depiction Of A Girl's Life During The Holocaust
Review: I deeply enjoyed the book All But My Life. I am reading it in my English Class at school and it has taught us a lot about the tortures people went through during the Holocaust. I highly recommend the book, it is worth the time you put into it to read it. Afterwards, you'll have a new look on life.

Summary: An amazing tale of horror and love
Review: I read this book in my senior year of high school. From the second I picked it up, I could not put it down. Gerda Klein put her life down on paper in a way that I felt as though I was right there next to her, feeling her pain and racked with confusion of the reasons of the Nazi's. Now, being in college, I re-read the novel and was reborn to the emotions of the book, and the symapthy was there with full force. An excellent tale of a life filled with sorrow and insecurity. Definatley a must for the winter reader.!

Summary: Everyone should read this book so the world never forgets.
Review: This book is incredible! It is so important that the world always remembers the Holocaust in order to prevent this part of history from repeating itself. The author writes in a way that I felt I was reading a letter, it flows just the way a conversation does. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know the truth about the horror that was real for so many people.

Summary: Haunting
Review: I picked up this book because I wanted to reinforce the fact that I don't have it that bad as compared to others. I gained so much from reading this book, but also once again realized how cruel us humans can be. I will never be able to understand the inner strength & unbounding faith Mrs. Klein possesses. Please read this book so that some periods in our history are not repeated!

Summary: Touching, Wonderful Book!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Once you start it you can't put it down. This is not like the normal holocaust books. It is written by an actual survivor. You recieve an unforgetable peek into someone's life that experience the worst, yet survived.

Summary: The most touching story I have ever read.
Review: I have never been so touched then when I read All But My Life. It was so well written. There was not a night that I didn't go to sleep with a dry eye while I was reading this book and I prayed that something like the holocaust would never happen again. I have told many people about this book and they all have said that it changed their life as it did mine.
