Child 44 was an exceptional book set in the Stalinist era in Russia. It is written just like a action movie yet the author took the time to flesh out the characters. It really gives you a sense of how people felt during this difficult time. I look forward to the author's next book, "The Secret Speech."

I found this book to be very informative and gripping. A true account of one woman's struggle to be an individual in a society that does not permit women to have a voice. We take our freedoms in this country so lightly that it is a shock to believe that women still have no choices in other countries. I think that Ayaan Hirsi Ali finally puts to rest the debate on Islam and the treatment of women. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the human condition.

This is quite simply a good old fashioned ghost story. Each chapter builds upon the previous with little leaks of information that heightens the suspense of the narrative until it reaches the conclusion.
