Finished The Cage

I have finally finished reading The Cage. It was an amazing book, but it was really sad. Riva ended up living through her infection and going back to work, but instead of working at the normal family, she got a special job. Her job was to help the nurse/ doctor that cared for German war patients. The only reason Riva got this job was because she was still very weak, and because she still wasn't well enough to work at her normal job. One day, the people that were in charge of all the Jew girls were very jumpy and scared. They ended up marching all the girls to the middle of the forest intending to shoot them. Instead they ended up running in terror because a Russian was coming. With no where to go all the girls went back to the camp and several days later were found by a Russian soldier. The girls soon learned that they were the first survivors found. So in the end, Riva was the only survivor in her family that had gone to the camps, but she did end up finding her three older siblings that had escaped to a different country at the beginning of all the mayhem. Overall, I thought The Cage was a very intense and interesting book. I would definitely recommend it for high schoolers especially if they like reading about the Holocaust and past events. Now, because I am done reading The Cage I am going to start reading Twilight. I can't wait it sounds like a very good book.
