Linda said Vivid and Honest. This book is not only a fantastic read with its vivid descriptions that bring the scenes to life before your eyes, but contains much deeper messages about society today. It leads the reader to ask the question "Has society learned from the past?" and to consider where we are, and we are heading. This book is powerful and audacious.
