[SPOILER]
This book was okay.
Good points: The childlike narrator was endearing, and his innocence drew you into the story as you worried about what he would do nest.
Weaknesses: Felix made terrible decision after terrible decision, and it became less intriguing with each unwise move. The other weakeness that I noticed was the ending. I hate non-endings in books. Felix, Zelda, and Chaya jump from the death-camp-bound train, Chaya is killed, and that's all. The rest of the book is alright, but I feel as though the author shied from the probable ending to the book, and then did not know where to go, so he ended it. My point is that it's a weak ending.
I do recommend this book, but I won't read it again.
