Sounds good. The back and forth stuff throughout the book might be a bit annoying but otherwise it sounds like something I would read. Thank you for the great review.

Great review! There's so much out there about WWII it's hard to find something so new and refreshing.

A book revolving around the Holocaust, a quest, and redemption sounds intriguing. The book follows Ben's attempts to track his Nazi father and avenge the murder of his Jewish mother. Adding accurate historical facts that prove the Holocaust contributes to the book. That it was well edited is another bonus. Thank you for the review!

This historical fiction whodunnit with WWII and the Holocaust as a backdrop is really intriguing. I really like what I read so far, and I can't decide if I want Ben to achieve vigilante justice or not. I can't wait to keep reading.

This book is full-packed because aside from crime, romance and betrayal are also presented. The characters, setting, and the plot are all captivating. Congrats BOTD. Thanks for this review.

I am not a fan of reading books during WWII or historical reads. This seems like fast paced and thrilling read though, I'm sure those who like this genre will enjoy.

Thanks for the very informative review, but this just is not my kind of book. Not only do I dislike tales that find one person searching for another, but I also don't care for tomes having anything, however peripherally, to do with wars, Germany, Nazis, etc.

Post by Doug Jones »

I have got the book today, and am already a fair bit through it. It starts out intensely, and the writing style is completely absorbing. While you given some detail on the plot here, it's just enough to stir curiosity without spoiling the book. The back-and-forth that Ben does with the identity of the man he has tracked is something I'm looking forward to reading further on, and your statement that my knowledge of the Second World War will improve as a consequence is definitely tantalizing. All in all, bclayton13, a great review.

World war related stories are one of my favorite historical fiction category. So, I will definitely read this one without any hesitation. Congratulations on being BOTD and thanks for the review

It so sad for children to be used as suicidal mission, nevertheless have liked the book very much.
