I loved it
The book was amazing, even though Leon is not a professional he did a really good job writing this book and I am really happy he shared his story.

Inspiring and Moving Book
This book was very moving and it is just an incredible memoir. Leon Leyson is a great writer who uses sensory details and showing descriptions to help the reader understand the cruel treatment of the Jews during WWII. I, myself, am a big fan of books about World War II, and I was hooked on this one the moment that I picked it up. Oskar Schindler is a true hero who did an incredibly brave thing, in a dire situation. I recommend this book to anyone who has the chance to read it!

The Boy on the Wooden Box
This book was very intriguing considering my love for WW2. This memoir by Leon Leyson opened my eyes and I realized how fortunate my family and I are to live in such a great time. This book was on my summer reading list, which was mandatory, for my language arts project for school. I wasn't really looking forward to reading it , but two chapters in I couldn't put the book down. I stayed up until 2:00 A.M. to finish reading this one of a kind book. You will not be able to find many books written about WW2 in the first person. I would recommend this book to everyone that has the opportunity to read it.
