The Moon is Down ~ John Steinbeck

So I just finished reading John Steinbeck's, The Moon is Down. It was a weird story but I really liked it for some reason. The book is about a town during World War Two that is taken over and the Mayor of the town is forced to follow the orders of the conquerers. The cool thing about this story is that it is kind of warped in its own way. It deals with law and order and what happens when two heirarchys clash. The Mayor speaks for his town and people, while the conquerers try to establish their government in the town. The citizens rebel and this causes many undeserved deaths and mass killings....I guess I shouldn't say much more in case there is anyone out there that wants to read the story.
