From the first few words, written as a teaser, to the end of the extract, I couldn't stop reading this and was left wanting to find out what happens next. It grabs and holds the attention, and captures the experiences of a Jewish prisoner very well from the beginning.
The main character, Lale, is someone you can like, and the memories that are shared in the extract help the reader to feel as if they know him. It is easy to imagine the surroundings from the description given in the text, and the discussion of sensitive subjects is handled extremely well.
