Though these words may sound trite, the best way I can describe this book is fascinating and unbelievable. The book started out a bit slow, but by the end, I couldn't put it down. I am fascinated by stories of survival during WW2. I like to learn about what people went through outside of the concentration camps during this time. This man's story is beyond extreme, and I think my jaw was on the floor throughout the whole second half of the book.

I definitely recommend this book for those interested in WW2. I haven't really heard/read much from the Norwegian perspective during WW2, so the setting and and story line fascinated me.
