All but My Life

Summary: All But My Life
Review: "All buy my life" by Gerda Weissmann Klein is a tragic story about a young girl living life during the Holocaust. It talks about her survival for three years under the control of the Nazis and the story of her amazing liberation.
This book is a great book for most teenagers beacuse it touches on sensative subjects such as family and love, and some aspects of the story can really be related to you.
Although the story is great, at times it may be confusing for readers as it switches greatly and very fast.

This book is an amazing story and it really makes a huge impact on you after you read it.

Review: This book held my attention from page one, until the very end. I actually have read this book( or at least large parts of it) ten or more times. I was so riveted by Gerda's story that I went to my local library to find out MORE about Gerda. She has written a few other books, interesting too, but this is her best. ALL BUT MY LIFE so impressed me that I felt the need to visit the US Holocaust Museum in Washington,DC. I have chosen this book for my book club selection next month, although I really read it the first time about 5 years ago. I was initially concerned that it was not "mainstream" enough for my book buddies, but...we will see. I have read voraciously for my entire reading life, which would be about 40 years or so, and I think this book IS my absolute favorite.
