Right from the beginning it got my adrenaline going, as the author has a good knack of putting in the character's shoes. The book gives you a good indication as to how everyday people must have felt during that time in history. Despite living under constant fear, the book also demonstrates everyday friendships, which are often full of comedic encounters.
The book is fiction entwined with important snippets of history. The beginning of each chapter has a small quote or important historical reference, which aids in setting each chapter up. Each one is quite shocking in its context.
