Read 2 times. Last read March 3, 2023.
2023 Reread: I wonder if I knew the first time that I listened to this that it was from the view point of The Grim Reaper/Death...
Once again, I had a hard time really getting into this book because the narrator was just so monotonous and boring. I think that if it had been read by a woman I may have paid more attention to everything.
But Max and Leisl...they really touched my heart.
Actual Rating: 3.5*
__________________________________________________________
I just can't formulate many words right now. I started out hating this book, finding it and the narrator incredibly boring. It took until the introduction of Max for me to start to really pay attention to what was going on.
This is such an emotional book that is about regular people who were just trying to survive during Nazi Germany, who barely had a pot to pee in, but followed along with the party line because it was better than being starved to death and treated like scum, just as the Jews were treated.
By the end I was a blubbering mess and waffled between really loving the book, and then feeling awful that I loved a book that is about a very sensitive subject matter. But, don't think that this book is all about the nightmare that the Jewish people were subjected to; they weren't the main story. This was all about Leisl and how she managed to get through the worst time period in her life.
I have such a book hangover right now...
