My book club has read several historical fiction books about WW2. I was not looking forward to another one. This one got to me though. I found it addictive and wanted to know what was happening next to the characters. The moral dilemma's made it a great book to discuss.

We had our book club meeting last night and the conclusion was that this was a slow, difficult to get into book. The last 50-75 pages were interesting as that wrapped up the story, but it took a long time to get there. The writing was hard to follow at times, and even though there was a glossary of sorts, a lot of the slang words weren't listed. Overall, I would not recommend this book with all the other good books out there.

This book was painful to read. It was like reading the journal of a very boring, pretentious, self absorbed person. His friends were as uninteresting as Nathaniel P. There wasn't one character i liked or cared about. I kept reading hoping there had to be some point to this book. There wasn't.
