Critiques
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I really wanted to like this book. The concept was a good one, but I feel like the execution was not quite there. The characters needed more development, and the story was almost too simply written. I understand that this was written with a young audience in mind, so it may just be that I'm the wrong reader.
I'm of two minds with this book. On the one hand, I enjoyed reading about a culture I didn't know much about before. On the other hand, I'm not a fan of stories where people almost, but then don't, leave an oppressive situation so I can't 100% recommend this.
Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.I feel like this is an important read for young adults. The more we learn about these things, the less likely we are to allow them to happen again. I’ll recommend this for my top readers.

For such a small thin book that should not take long to read, it was filled with emotional powerfully packed scenes that remain unforgettable. It's amazing what prejudice, greed, and ignorance can fester and induce major harm on people just because they don't share beliefs, or other similarities to the majority.
It's definitely not an easy read as it progresses and there's a scene where once done reading, it stayed with me and I think it's going to be a memorable scene that will stick for a long time (and not in a positive sense). It's horrifying what people would do to others but it's also the sad reality of humanity.
I was not expecting the 'body swapping' moment and thought this was well done for the plot to further along. Characters are standard and nothing which stands out but you're really reading this book for the plot and historical subject.
May not be an easy read. Definitely not a light one. But it's good to be aware and learn of this subject.… (plus d'informations)
