Good book

Review by Naomi14

This book is pretty good, but I thought there were too many things happening at once.I would have preferred a longer book.I would recommend if you like war adventures.

BEST. BOOK. EVER.

Review by LeftlikeLink

I loved this. I enjoy reading about WW2 and this was perfect. It really told you how the characters were feeling without saying, This character is feeling sad or mad or happy. would definitely recommend.

Review by Transform1

This book was amazing. I learned that Hitler really was a diabolical man. I am very, very pleased with the ending of this book.
