Mila 18

By Leon Uris

Its about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Jews who revolted against the Nazis. The book brings out all the spine-chilling details of cruelties in that the Nazis forced upon the European Jews during the Second World War. It also tells passionate love stories of the ordinary people made extra-ordinary in the face of absolute doom and catastrophe.

I deliberately slowed my reading pace so that I could live each moment of the agony that the characters lived through and of passion that they lived with! I had goose-bumps and I had smiles. I had revulsion and I felt my skin crawl. I was scared when The Nazi guns were outside their doors and I was ecstatic when they hit back and won over the brutes.

I plan to beg this book from its owner.
