This was such a well done but also so sad. This is definitely something everyone should read because it truly details how humanity can become so evil, but also has a big theme of hope woven throughout. It also was eerily similar to some things happening right now, even though what’s going on in the world is less extreme than events portrayed in the book. I highly recommend this one
