I thought it was great. But, I do have mixed feelings about Holocaust books and have been steering away from them for awhile until this year.I do kind of like fairy tail retellings, I've enjoyed that trend.

I've loved many books i have been forced against my will to read by my book club! Also, I find books that everyone loves don't make for good book club discussions. Whereas it sounds like you all had an interesting discussion. <br /><br />I hadn't heard of this book and love retellings of stories, but think I will take a pass given your caveats. Thanks for the review.Carin Siegfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278383926500248048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-60275756370947562742011-04-21T09:10:58.825-04:002011-04-21T09:10:58.825-04:00I have this book in my TBR pile but didn't kno...I have this book in my TBR pile but didn't know much about it until now!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-91905894259141165302011-04-21T09:04:35.883-04:002011-04-21T09:04:35.883-04:00I am a big fan of WWI and WWII novels, but not sur...I am a big fan of WWI and WWII novels, but not sure I would enjoy this one. I will check to see if my public library is stocking this book as my interest at the moment is not enough to purchase a copy.
