This book was very interesting...I will have to admit that I knew nothing about the genocide on the Armenian people. But, in an attempt to provide the reader with every single detail leading up to the genocide events, the author had me lost, confused and bored. It was very difficult to finish reading the book because of such. ( )

An excellent, lucid account painstakingly researched. ( )

This is a very important book. The violent massacre of the Armenians was a tragedy on par with the Holocaust, yet the perpetrators not only escaped real justice, but a century later still get to deny the crime! While portions are heart-rending, this book is not really well written. For scholarship, it is quite important but for popular consumption - not really a "good read."

It is definately worth plowing through. ( )
