I have the same problem saying a book is good or that I loved it or I enjoyed it when it deals with such a terrible subject matter. This one sounds worth reading. I hope it's okay that I've linked to this post on War Through the Generations. .-= Anna´s last blog ..Mailbox Monday for October 26 =-.

I know just what you mean about not wanting to call a book like this "good." I run into that problem whenever I read something with similar subject matter. I usually think of books in terms of whether or not they're enjoyable, and books like this one certainly aren't - but at the same time, they're powerful and worth reading. It's not that they aren't good, it's just that the terminology becomes problematic. .-= Memory´s last blog ..Read-A-Thon Hour 8: My Book Buddy =-.

I love your way of describing how this is such a good book. I have those hesitations, too, when writing about something like this--even saying I loved it (which I did love this book). Glad this one struck a powerful chord with you, too. .-= Trish´s last blog ..Fingersmith - Sarah Waters =-.

Very well said! I read the first in the series about a year ago and have been thinking about it since. Definitely need to finish reading them all, though I know how much they're going to get to me! I cried after finishing the first one, reading it all in one sitting. Very powerful, important books -- and the fact that they're graphic novels really makes them stand out! .-= Meg´s last blog ..Books my future kids will read (whether they like it or NOT) =-.

I currently have a copy of this from the library and psyching myself up to read it; I know that I have to be in the right emotional state to read it. .-= Claire (Paperback_Reader)´s last blog ..Persephone Biannually =-.

That was a really beautiful review. I haven't yet read this book, and surprisingly, don't know much about it besides the obvious. I think this is something I would like to read, it sounds deeply moving. .-= zibilee´s last blog ..The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larrson - 608 pgs =-.
