Incredibly dense with info (in both the good way, and the challenging way). It's an incredibly good and important read; I just wish there was an abridged version that didn't need to dwell so much on every historical detail. Nonetheless, it'll rock your perspective of modern politics and events. History does indeed rhyme.

Fine enough as a YA book; I probably would've loved it as a teenager. But as an adult, I find it to be an occasionally engaging but uneven read. I enjoyed parts, and some twists were interesting. But it's not particularly well written, the characters are barely more than stereotypes, and there's a massive plothole paradox at the center of the story.
