    My reaction to the setting and what was going on is Mad, I feel that I do not feel in anyway that Hitler was doing the right thing, he was Killing all of the Jews so he could have a perfect race of blond hair blue eyes. Hitler was not blonde hair blue eyes so he was not part of the race. I do not think that having only one race would help this world at all. This story had many parts of happiness even though they were hiding for their lives.…

    The figurative language deepens the book, and the style and craft drags the reader farther into it. The central idea of the book is well chose and described. The only thing that could have been improved is the figurative language. There is so much figurative language at certain parts that many readers do not may have trouble understanding it. Even with the confusing parts this book deserves a four out of five stars, because it is intriguing, but still has flaws.…

    While I was reading it, I could not help but feel the emotions of the characters through the words, and that, to me, makes an alright book, an exceptional one. It took me a while to get into the book, though. I would start reading it, get bored, then go do something else. After a couple times of starting and stopping, I could not put the book down. I was amazed at how Stockett could write in several points of view and somehow still have everything make sense.…

    How did I feel about the book Unlikely Allies? I had lots of difficulty reading the book, from the sudden changes in scenes to the exhausting writing. It felt like a sloppy mess of sudden twists and turns that would, in most books, keep me intrigued, but this did not interest me at all. If the author added just a little bit of flair to the certain parts of the writing then I think I would really enjoy the book. The book had things I didn’t like, a few things I did like, and a couple things I would change.…

I really like what how the book is written and that it waists no time to get to the action. And most of all I really like the message and the…
