Title: The Fixer- What a Mind Bender!
Review: It is just sad to realize you live in a world full of hate and violence. That's just what this book was all about.The story takes place in Russia just before WWI. The main character, Yakov Bok, is accused of murdering a young, Russian boy. To make things worse, he's a Jew. Because of this he is looked upon with hate and unjustful eyes from the surrounding Russian community.This book was very intense and kept me wanting to read (which is very tough for a high school student). I couldn't believe the amount of hatred towards Yakov just because he was Jewish. And to think that that same amount of hatred still exists today.The Fixer was a well written, well configured book. Personally, this book made me think about how to treat people no matter what they do or how they act, or even for who they are.I would encourge others to read this book and hopefully finish with the realization that racism and hatred are completely destructive to any civilized society.
