The Darkest Evening is about Jake's family which consists of his mother, father, and his brother, Peter who moved from Minnesota to Russia at the time that the Communists were taking people away and killing them just because they had the courage to speak against the Party. Jake's family moved to Russia to try to build a worker's paradise. Also, Russia has good schools that teach about Finnish culture. It didn't work out because the food was awful and they were scared of the Communists because everyone was getting taken unexpectedly. Jake's father was also taken in the middle of the night.

Opinion: 

I really liked the book The Darkest Evening. I think that the beginning was a little bit slow and that there could have been more detail, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. If you want to find out what happens, you'll just have to read this book.
