Rating:
Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!
Review: This book was really sad. I couldn't put it down. It was so unbelievable that this was true. It was so sickening to think that this woman has to live with these memories for the rest of her life. I pray to god this doesn't happen again.

Summary: A MUST READ!
Review: Livia Bitton-Jackson told the story of her journey throught the Holocaust very well. Every single event had emotion woven into it. The reality that she created made me feel as if i was living what she went through. Her book gives the real truth about how people in the Holocaust were really treated. You could not ask for a better book.

Summary: YOU DON'T READ A BOOK LIKE THIS TOO MANY TIMES IN YOUR LIFE!
Review: i have lived a thousand years is a book that everybody should read. it is about a girl of 13 years old whose life is shattered by the holocaust. she is sent to at least 5 concentration camps including auchwitz and plaszow with her mother and later finding her brother in waldlager. i have written to the author many times and have gotten to know her a little more through the letters she sends back. she is extremely gracious, down to earth, and easy to talk to. you must read this book. it doesn't have the tremendous length or the never ending detail but it certainly describes her experiences like no other book has.

Rating:
Summary: This book is NIGHT (Wiesel) with a female protagonist.
Review: I Have Lived a Thousand Years is a wonderful book. The realism really puts you in the time period with the protagonist. I had just finished Elie Wiesel's NIGHT when I started this novel. It is just as realistic and horrific as NIGHT. I read the entire book in one afternoon (Young Adult fiction) and I was so moved by the narrative. Jackson really lays the facts out for the reader. The horror of the Holocaust is depicted with no gloss-over. If you want to know what it was like to be in a concentration camp, this is the right book.

Rating:
Summary: Disturbing
Review: i found this book to be very disturbing but also an exceptional memoir. it is about a girl at the age of thirteen who is deported to auchwitz along with 4 or 5 other camps. she, her mother and her brother survive the death camps and in 1951, she and her mother go to america. i would rate this book a definate 5!

Summary: I found the book to be very heart-wrenching and sad
Review: I thought the book was well written. How could no one know what was going on. It was heart-wrenching and very sad. You start to read and can't stop until it is finished. It had a lot of truth and accuracy. Not many people would believe it to be true. I have read a lot of books about the holocaaust and none were written this well. I wish the author a lot of condolences at the loss of her family. It must have been very difficult to live with the nightmares and heartaches. I would like to have more of her works. They make excelent reading.

Summary: A realistic look at the horrors of the Holocaust
Review: I could not put down this book. I knew the Holocaust was bad, but I did not have any idea how brutal the labor camps were or the hatred and discrimination the Jewish people faced during WW2. I could never imagine such a thing existing but it does. I applaud the author on writing such a realistic description of such a terrible time.

Summary: A girl is sent to many concentration camps and tells.
Review: I love this book. It is my favorite. I have read it 17 times. It is about a teenage girl who is separated from her father and brother and is then sent to a ghetto. From there, she goes to about 5-6 camps. She lives in hard living conditions with beatings and riots. Her mother becomes sick, and she must smuggle her out. This story also tells of how they were saved and her new live. I highly reccommed this for all young aldut readers. I could put it down.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!!
Review: This is the best book I have ever read in my entire life. It makes you laugh and cry and it takes you on a journey through Auswitz, and many other concentration camps and ghettos. i have read this book twice and am going on my third time reading it. It is powerful, and brings the truth of what it was like growing up in the holocaust.

Summary: This is a very detailed and great book.
Review: This book is very detailed but is so amazing. To think that to people just like us except they were Jewish. This book is great. It tells about courage and to never give up. I recomend this book to anybody who like books that make you laugh and make you cry but show how courage a girl can be.
