I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to it in time for the WWII challenge, though. It's always good when nonfiction isn't dry. I'm glad to hear this one is good.

There's something about the truth that makes it impact me even more. I don't usually read WWII books, but the zoo is the part that made me interested -- it touches on a lot of those themes, but looks at them from a new perspective.
