I was glad to finally be through with this book. The journal format really bothered me. It was interesting to see the different perspectives of the races. The author did a good job of showing that racism extended even to the Jews. I wish there would have been a more exciting plot. I never could get caught up in the book. I don't think I would use this book in my class based on its lack of appeal and interest. I think students could find more interesting books to learn about the same time period.
