One thing is a cliffhanger, and another is just simply cutting the book; it's not something I like 'cause it feels like is not finished :S<br />Anyways, I do love books that make me think.

I don't love abrupt endings, but it sounds like the rest of the book was good. I read The Kite Runner and The Diary of Anne Frank- so if this book is being compared to those, then I can imagine it is a powerful read. I do love to learn about places and events I don't know as much about as I should, so I will look for this one.
