"I learned a lot from this book. Such as the Jewish people or "Judes" were in contact with the involuntary builders of the camps. I also learned that the Germans were just as creul to the workers who were building the camps as they were to the Jewish people. I would not reccomend this book to someone who takes offence easily because of the situations where there is torture, murder, and predjudice. Otherwise I greatly enjoyed this book."
"This book was very sad and you really can see that this war didn't only effect the Jews.it broke my heart when of the boys died and loved when Roberto escaped the camp. But will the German Soilders find him? I'll never tell. This book was a great pick."
"Stones in Water is an excellent book. It teaches you more about the experiences that the Jews and other family's went through during the holocaust. This book got my attention with the introduction. It also uses very descriptive words. Stones in Water is an emotional rollercoaster! I would recommend this book to anyone i know!!"
