The Devil's Arithmetic was a very good novel and book, but I thought the book gave me a better view of what the Jewish people went through during the Holocaust. My favorite part of the novel was when Shmuel and some of the other Jewish people showed means of resistance and tried to escape. I liked when Shmuel and the others tried to escape because it told me they were trying to fight back not just sitting there doing nothing. When Shmuel and Fayge were killed was my least favorite part of the novel. I disliked when they were killed because they were the good guys throughout the book and helped Hannah. I would recommend this book to a person who likes reading about history because I think it gives a respectful idea of what the Jewish people had to go through in the 1940's.
