How evil Nazi Germany was

I was captivated by the story but there were times when I felt it was over the top. I recognized how totally evil Nazi Germany was and thought that it was a very real depiction of what the Jewish people had faced. For that reason I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the topic.

Compelling story.

This is a great story of courage, determination, love, and the importance of speaking truth to injustice. Characters are well developed. It’s a little slow to start, but once it gets going, you really can’t put it down. I’m looking forward to the second volume.

I don’t know where to start, This book was intriguing in every facet of the story! Throughout the book you would think that it couldn’t get worse but it did, I couldn’t put it down! I truly enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end!

The story is excellent. Edge of seat intense!

Great narration. Can’t wait to get to book 2. I felt like I was there participating in the story !

Needs editing

The story and characters are interesting enough that I listened to the end. But the book needs editing: too much rehashing throughout when one has already got the point; unnecessary “color”- eg ruin in the forest (perhaps it is important in subsequent books?), adopting the dog, the butler; too many narrow escapes - just couldn’t suspend that much belief: Michael knew his end had come but - fill in the next narrow escape, Even the premise of sending the boys to Germany under false names etc - really? I also found the narration overly dramatic and breathless although it matched the overtop-ness of the writing. All in all - would be better after some serious editing.
