Brilliant book. I really enjoyed reading this book. Well researched, and very interesting. I particularly like the way Ackerman intertwines the Nazi's obsession with genetically "pure" animals, botany and "recreating" extinct species and how this affected Poland during Holocaustic times. This is the first book I read, being part of a formal book club, and loved it. I love history, and when I found this book in the European History section at Barnes and Noble, I knew I had got off to a good start before reading this book. The only critique I am adding is that I would have liked to have learned a deeper amount of information about Antonina Zabinski and her family. I look forward to reading more books by Diana Ackerman in the future.
My Rating 4.2 or 4.3 out of 5.
