review 1: Never before have I been so totally blown away by a book in my life as I have by this one!!! Although the story line isn't pretty, it will permeate your soul. By the time you finish the book, you will feel as if you had been there yourself. There are many twists and turns along the way, but hold on tight, and go along for the ride. You won't be sorry that you did!!! Thank You, Mr. Dempsey, for keeping History alive in such an interesting way. You truly worked magic with this book, and I'll be looking for future books of yours!! This particular book was won from Goodreads, and even though I was fortunate enough to win it, it has no bearing on my review.
review 2: 3.5 . I liked this book but didn't fall in love with it. This book could have been really some
... morething special, but it needed fleshing out a LOT more. Books written about the Nazis and the Holocaust are available in the dozens, so a new book really needs to stand out. Unfortunately this one didn't, I can think of other fiction novels about this horrible period in history, which are better. Like I said this started off great, the love story was (could have been) perfect. A Jewish woman and a German man who fall madly in love around the Second World War, what could go wrong? She gets carted off to Auschwitz and he gets posted there as an SS Nazi officer, trying to find the love of his life. See what I mean? It COULD have been a classic, but fell a bit flat towards the end, and I ended up skipping through quite a few pages. Good, not great. I liked the characters, but I lost interest a bit towards the end. less
