Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Shelby Oberhansly
In My Hands is such a good sotry of a persons memoirs I think it's excellent and I'm only in th grade. Please give me youre address, or call me or give me your phone number, or you mail me because I don't care how much money I have to pay I would so much love to talk to you.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Marsha
The best book I have ever read. It draws you in like nothing else and was also an easy read. The content is not for people who dont like the Holocaust because thats what it is about. READ THIS BOOK!!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Leenie T.
I was moved by all that Irene experienced and the tough and life threataning decisions that she made. Her story was very compelling and wellw ritten

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Matt
Yeah, it was a great book. The mood is so capricious, and you never know what will happen next. As I said before it is a great book so go and buy it.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Christie
It was an overall good book. I enjoyed it but some of the ways she wrote the book were not fullfilling enough. She didn't describe the people enough for my tates. But Everything else I loved! A great book which with which Irene (I and my class will meet her tommorow :) ) isn't afraid to tell everything that happened even if it is hurtful or even a big disgusting.
