**possible spoilers you've been warned**

For such a small thin book that should not take long to read, it was filled with emotional powerfully packed scenes that remain unforgettable. It's amazing what prejudice, greed, and ignorance can fester and induce major harm on people just because they don't share beliefs, or other similarities to the majority.

It's definitely not an easy read as it progresses and there's a scene where once done reading, it stayed with me and I think it's going to be a memorable scene that will stick for a long time (and not in a positive sense). It's horrifying what people would do to others but it's also the sad reality of humanity.

I was not expecting the 'body swapping' moment and thought this was well done for the plot to further along. Characters are standard and nothing which stands out but you're really reading this book for the plot and historical subject.

May not be an easy read. Definitely not a light one. But it's good to be aware and learn of this subject. ( )

I feel like this is an important read for young adults. The more we learn about these things, the less likely we are to allow them to happen again. I’ll recommend this for my top readers. ( )

Really enjoyed this book and was surprised to learn that it was based on a true event. Although I thought I was familiar with a lot of history, this was not an event I'd heard of before now. ( )

This book was not what I expected in a wonderful way. It is about a Jewish boy in France who falls in love with a non-Jewish girl and then finds out something that gets him killed. The story overall is about the persecution of the Jewish population during the plagues. Many Jewish people were thought to have brought the plague to others since less Jewish people were dying from it, that is not to say that none died, but in a time when people had no idea about disease and how it spread if a population was doing better than others - it was their fault.

Another Me follows Natan as he works with his father and meets a young girl, they are drawn together and while out late one night visiting her he notices some people poisoning the community well - they are dropping in rotting food, feces and even killing a cat. Knowing that this cannot be helping the plague that is ruining other cities, Natan tries to do something about it. In the process, he dies, BUT his spirit is still around trying to tell someone what has happened and who should be blamed.

The story has a lot of sadness and the unfair treatment of many people, but there is also bravery and love and some hope through it all. It was a very good read. It is fiction but everything seemed like it could/would happen during this period in history. ( )

A story written out of a true event in history, garnished with a supernatural twist. It gives an opportunity for the target audience to read about how Jewish people have been treated badly by Germans of another time period, and an understanding that they have been persecuted throughout history (not just during world war two).
