Passade på att hämta ut två paket när jag klev av tåget idag och det är jag glad för.

Se bara så fina de engelska babyböckerna är och sen fick jag hem en av Bokias mest sålda bok som ni ser på en av bilderna:)

Igår när jag gick hem och kollade posten låg där två paket till mig.
Kan ju meddela att det faktiskt var två oväntade böcker som jag inte hade en aning om som skulle hitta hem i min bokhylla.

Har någon läst någon av dessa två eller läst något annat av författarna?

This is a really great story made by a 16 year old (I'm impressed).

Can love really heal all things? If Sam Carroll hadn’t shown up, she might have been able to get to her mother in time. Instead, Allie Everly finds herself at a funeral, mourning the loss of her beloved mother. She is dealt another blow when, a few hours later, she is sent from Tennessee to Maine to become the daughter of Miss Beatrice Lovell, a prim woman with a faith Allie cannot accept. Poetry and letters written to her mother become the only things keeping Allie’s heart from hardening completely. But then Sam arrives for the summer, and with him comes many confusing emotions, both toward him and the people around her. As World War II looms, Allie will be forced to decide whether hanging on to the past is worth losing her chance to be loved. 

At the beginning it went little bit slowly but it passed after just 2-3 pages and it is a mixed between a sad book and a happy romantic book that turns in to a sad book and then back to a happy romantic book.

I wrote down what I liked and disliked about the book and here comes the list. 

What I liked about the book:

• That Rachel Coker have choosen to have some Emily Dickinson quotes at the beginning of every chapter, each one is very beautiful
• I'm really loving the main character name Alcyone
• The language is written in a good and a understandable English even though the story takes place in 1940th 
• The story is really good and Rachel maked me want to read the book all the time

What I didn't liked about the book:

• The end that leaved me hanging and wanting more but, in the end this fits in the like list too since a book that leaves you hanging and wanting more is a great book :) 

Summary of Surviving the Angel of Death: 

Here is a book everyone should read since this book cointains the author and her twin sisters life at Birkenau, or Auschwitz 2 as it is a called. 

We got to follow how they get to Birkenau with their family and what happens when they get seperated from them when they arrived at Birkenau just because they are twins. The reason that they got seperated because they were twins was for that all the twins would be in care of the so called the Angel of Death which was Dr. Josef Mengele. 

The twins in his care was granted the privileges of keeping their own clothes and hair but they was also torture (but not like their families) by different experiments and they were forced to fight for to survive. Many twins died in this camp because of they got serious sick or they died because of their hunger.

From NetGalley:

Eva Mozes Kor was just 10 years old when she arrived in Auschwitz. While her parents and two older sisters were taken to the gas chambers, she and her twin, Miriam, were herded into the care of the man known as the Angel of Death, Dr. Josef Mengele. Subjected to sadistic medical experiments, she was forced to fight daily for her and her twin's survival. In this incredible true story written for young adults, readers will learn of a child's endurance and survival in the face of truly extraordinary evil.

The book also includes an epilogue on Eva's recovery from this experience and her remarkable decision to publicly forgive the Nazis.Through her museum and her lectures, she has dedicated her life to giving testimony on the Holocaust, providing a message of hope for people who have suffered, and working for causes of human rights and peace.

What I think about the book:

It is a strong book that was both horrible and good. It was horrible because of what happend in Birkenau and good because of what happend after. 

I think everyone should read this one and get some inside information about what happend to twins at this kind of camp. I can honest say that I didn't knew that twins was on their own and never had I heard about the experiments or about Josef Mengele.

The book was written in a really good way with a language that was easy to understand and captured the reader so that you wouldn't lay this book down because you wanted to know what would happen to Eva and her twin sister.

I will give this book a 10 out 10 and as I mention in my review I think everyone should read this one.

Detta är en stark bok som var både hemsk och bra. Den var hemsk på grund av vad som hände i Birkenau och bra för vad som hände efter. 

Jag tycker alla borde läsa denna och få en insyn av vad som hände med tvillingar i denna typen av camp. Jag kan ärligt säga att jag inte visste att tvillingar var ensama och hade aldrig hört om dessa exprement eller om Josef Mengele.

Denna bok var skriven på  ett lätt förståligt språk och man som läsare blir verkligen infångad i boken så att man inte kunde lägga ifrån sig boken för att man ville veta vad som hände med Eva och hennes tvilling syster.

Boken för 10 av 10 i betyg:)
