Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To say this book is historical fiction is like claiming that Alice in Wonderland is about the natural habitat of rabbits. This was one of the most unrealistic books I have ever read. I read a lot. The fact that it has a good review by Glamour magazine and the author wrote for a strictly romance publisher should give you a hint. A woman is being tortured to death and she is worried about the "disgusting" lice in her hair. A boxcar of prisoners dying of heat and thirst but the heroine wets a rag to wipe the "fevered brow" of a friend who has managed to find and hide a grenade from her German captors over weeks of captivity and torture? These are but very small incidents I highlighted to amuse myself toward the end of the book that I read or slogged through only because it was assigned by my Book Club. How this came to be a best seller is a sad commentary on the reading public.
