Acho que nada do que eu possa dizer vai conseguir fazer justiça a este livro.

Se eu pudesse dava 6 estrelas, 7 estrelas, 8 estrelas, dava uma galáxia a esta obra de arte.

Between Shades of Gray é o livro que mudou a minha perspetiva das coisas, me fez acreditar que acreditar é a solução, que devemos dar valor a tudo aquilo que temos e que a maldade e o terror apenas vão prevalecer quando o último homem bom morrer.

Não consigo apontar um único defeito. Acho que a única coisa que gostaria de ter visto mais aprofundada era o reencontro da Lina e do Andrius; contudo, acho que o fim se tornou tão mais especial naquela carta. Adorei todas as personagens, todas as cenas, todas as descrições.

Gostava de saber um pouco mais sobre o Kretzsky, também. Foi um personagem que sempre me intrigou desde o início.

Não sei o que dizer mais. Sem dúvida, o meu livro favorito de longe!
