review 1: An intriguing historical fiction that begins close to my heart -in the Sawatch and Sangre de Christo ranges in Colorado. That scene quickly dissipates as the main characters move back to the old country. It almost could have been completely etched from the novel with no impact. With a shepherd's upbringing, Jozef enters into WWI as a sharpshooter and eventually is taken as prisoner. The plot was beautiful, the writing flawed but still poignant. The reader would have liked better connections, foreshadowing, and at times - less details that distracted from the plot.
review 2: Much like Enon, this book was almost entirely about one character's reaction to the (albeit more) fantastic events that happened to him. It also described how strange it must have been to l... moreive amongst the changing borders and allegiances defined by World War I. I loved all the characters, I loved the setting - I'm glad I wasn't put off by (yet another) war novel. But at least it's about WWI, and not WWII, right? less
