Wow. I wish I had read this in a high school or college class. I think the conversation it evoked would be so good. This story is incredibly sad, as expected. But the writing is beautiful and the path the story takes surprised me.

One I wish I had studied in school.

Any additional comments?

This is not the unabridged version. This version leaves out the part of how he got captured in the first place. Shame on Audible!

Abridged version

There are three sections to the original text. This version does not have section 2. I use this story in my classrooms; but not this one anymore. After buying it, I found the missing section.
