A definite reality check

This book is very well written. The story from both sides is heartbreaking. I would highly recommend it.

I couldn't stop listening

This is one of the most riveting and hesrtrending book I have ever read. Listening to the daily abject cruelty and humiliation heaped on prisoners made me almost tremble but the simple kindness to Minka by the farmers wife made me sob. It takes so little effort to extend kindness yet the Nazis could not inflict enough pain, starvation and cruelty on their prisoners. This book graphically paints a frightening portrait through the experiences of a young woman yet she saw, despite all of this, hope and refused to hate. Wonderfully written book and my first by this author. Can't wait to read more.

18 hours later, a disappointing and flat ending.

NO SPOILERS - I have been looking forward to reading a novel by Jodi Picoult for a long time, so I was very excited about this one. My mistake was not to read enough about it before, to realize that it was a story that revolved around the Holocaust. Yes, it is about much more than that, but you must be prepared to listen to 4 full hours of graphic details about life in the concentration camps. I wasn't. However, Minka's story is compelling and the best narration of the book.

At one point you know what part of the ending is going to be, it is predictable. I found this a bit disappointing. Then, I thought the very end fell flat. Considering the 18 hours of intricate stories, I expected more. It was a disappointing listen for me.

This is not a thriller, there is no twist, and no suspense.

Awesome Book!

I literally could not stop listening - every time I got in the car or I was waiting in line or at an appointment, I would listen to see what was going to happen next! I loved this book.

Great read

Took me a couple chapters to get into it but then it was hard to put down. Some very heavy eye opening parts in the book but written beautifully

The part about Minka really stood out. Suzanne Toren brought the story to life in colour.

I didn’t like some of the narrators . Suzanne Toren is incredible. I will be looking for books that she narrates.

Disturbing but well written

The narration was very good, and the book is well written. It’s very disturbing, but I’m sure very true about the atrocities against Jews. Too dark for me but I know Jody Picoult’s books are usually depressing. I will move on to a happier story next,

I tend to stay away from WW2 stories. They upset me. This one upset me too. I had to put it away for a few days. I had to go back to it. Powerful , gripping are apt adjectives that apply. I won’t soon forget it
