This book didn’t catch my attention at first but after reading the review it did. Anything that has to do with fighting Nazis and WWII I’m all about. I will put this on my to read list.

A historical fiction set in Egypt that's filled with suspense and adventure. This book really sounds interesting. It has a detailed way of portraying characters; this review is as detailed as the book itself. Thank you for the review.

Historical fiction is my favorite genre. Add that this book is set during WWII in the middle east, and I'm so pumped to read this.

Typically, books related to war usually don't hold my interest. However, after reading the free sample and your review, I think I may give this one a try. I think it was the character interaction that sold me. I am very interested to find out what happens to them. Thanks for the great review.

I generally love Australian authors, and looking at the sample, I don't think he'd disappoint. When I think of WWII and Australia though, I tend to think the Pacific theater, so it's interesting he set the book among the Nazi threat.

It covers the two genres I like most, historical and romance. The choice of Cairo as a setting for the novel makes the story to be treacherous. I will add this to my to-read list. Thanks for the enjoyable review.

It never occurred to me that the story is about World War II until I read the book. It is a book I will like to read again. Weldone Greg Kater

Interesting I enjoy historical fiction especially involving WW2. British soldiers fighting the Nazi spies through the pyramids and the Sphinx is definitely a twist I have not read about and am eager to.

The title of the book made me think it had something to do with American Indians, I couldn't have guessed what it was about until I read the review. Good job.

The reviewer offered the highest score to the novel The Warramunga's War. I think the title of the book is not captivating. This is a well-written and humorous historical fiction. The book has fewer grammar mistakes. This novel is recommended for all readers who like to read the history of the pertaining period.

Based on the review, I am going to pass on reading this book. I don't enjoy reading historical fiction. I also hate reading about the Nazi and the wars. I don't think that the book is for me.
