Hello from Quito, Ecuador, I have personally read the book, and I agree that this book is for students older than 15. There is also the issue of death, since the narrator of the book is death itself. It is a good work of fiction.

Do you think the book is appropriate for children? I asked this question of the author when the book first came out. He responded that that was not his intention, but that it was marketed that way in the USA by the publisher and cataloged as such in the USA. Personally, I would not have recommended the book for children or even young adults unless they knew a great deal about the Shoah and were very mature. Paula Sandfelder
