Our book club just finished this book. While we found the book entertaining we all felt it was a bit farfetched and that the ending was wrapped up too quickly. The way that the last 1/4 of the book was written gave us the description of unconvincing.

Our book club really enjoyed this book! Many of us didn't know about the seige of Leningrad so we got a history lesson too. This has been the best book we have read this year!
