In this book, fourteen year old Susie Salmon is raped and murdered. She spends majority of the book ‘living‘ in heaven and she is adjusting to life up there. Meanwhile, her family and friends are dealing with loss and tragedy down on earth. Susie watches her family, friends, and even murderer, continue their lives on earth, after that terrible day, as they learn to grieve and move on.

mackenzie.palmarchuk I would recommend this book to a mature young adult audience, due to some parts being graphic and containing sexual content. Also, to anyone who enjoys story‘s that address what life may be like after death and those who don‘t mind a graphic story with come disturbing content. 2y
mackenzie.palmarchuk The point of view used in this book is first person, told through Susie Salmons(the girl who is killed) eyes. However, she is in heaven and can see and know things about all of the characters on earth, so she is an omniscient character. We read and get to hear her thoughts and feelings, as well as those of all she views down on earth. 2y

In this book, Lale Sokolov takes us through his life in the time of WW2, when he was a prisoner and the Tätowierer in Auschwitz-Birkenau, due to being a Slovakian Jew. His experiences are horrific and brutal, but he still keeps room for compassion and love in his life. In the concentration camp, he meets the love of his life, Gita, which gives him hope that they will survive.

mackenzie.palmarchuk I would recommend this book to a mature young adult audience, anyone who enjoys a love story or learning about the Holocaust, as well as those who don‘t mind a more graphic story. The book is based on a true story from Lale Sokolov and displays the theme of hope and love surviving even in dark times and extreme hardship. We see Gita and Lale hold onto hope and use their love to make it through these disturbing and dark times of the Holocaust. 2y
