"How is it possible that Franz Stangl, a kindly, unassuming, mild-mannered family man and policeman from the small Austrian city of Linz became the commandant of the Nazi death camp Treblinka, where he wore white riding breaches to oversee mass murders of Jews? Gitta Sereny conducts her months of interviews of him in prison—as well as interviews with his wife and acquaintances—with her customary decorum, intelligence, and respect. One of her many outstanding strengths as a journalist is that she is entirely committed to understanding her subjects rather than demonstrating that she and her readers are unassailably superior."

I enjoyed coming back to that characters after such a long break. It's like meeting up with old friends after months of dealing with life, family, and work. Unfortunately, as much as I adored Garret and Maybe's story, I wasn't as enamored as I was with Jake and Conor's. The mystery behind their secrets honestly held no interest for me and I felt like the two of them fell a little too fast, if not too hard. I will, however, read the final book to lean about Lorne and how things turn out for him now that he's out of prison.
