  2. Someone named Eva is a really good book. This book really kept me on the edge of my seat. I was so sad when Matilda/Eva found out that her brother and father were killed. Overall i recommend this book to anyone how likes books that keep you on edge.

  3. this book was really good and was always wanting to know what was going to happen next I recommend this book to anyone who keeps wanting to find out whats going to happen next and a hint of history. Part of the reason why I wanted to keep reading was b/c I wanted to know why the title was called 'Someone Named Eva'. If you read it I know it will keep you entertained :).
