RECOMMENDATION

• I would recommend this book.
• It has a lot of mystery and tension because you wonder if Daniel will succeed or fail and be tortured.
• It includes real documents in the beginning of the book that were written by Nazis.
• It doesn't have a predictable ending so it pulls you in. You wonder what will happen.
