Review:Innovative, imaginative, tantalising futuristic fantasy which I loved.
I read the first two chapters of The Boy Who Fell from the Sky on a train out of London. Somewhat appropriate, as events in the novel would later show. I was immediately intrigued to see where the opening sentences would lead me as I was bombarded by the physical sensations and vivid colours of fast-moving action. I was then quickly yanked from this world neither I nor the protagonist had had chance to figure out into a ve... Read more

Review:This is a fantastic story! Winter is a literary student in New York, Cade is a cowboy from Texas, and they're both on their way to Paris to study for the summer, maybe longer. Winter has secrets from her past and it keeps popping up to torment her. Cade is a bit broken and filled with uncalled for guilt, as well as an intense relationship with his dad, and dreams of doing his own thing- not following in dad's footsteps.
They meet before crossing the ocean, and Cade immediately feels the ne... Read more

Review:I'm the owner of two active German Shorthair Retrievers who keep life interesting , so the opportunity to read a book about a very special dog was interesting. The author's ability to share the incredible bond between Antis and his owner during a very difficult time was special.and heart rendering.
Although the book captured a very special relationship, the story became redundant at times and overstated. This might have been an outcome of the writer trying to share a story somewhat removed f... Read more

Review:The most comprehensive and authoritative history to date of the beginning of German concentration camps in the 1930s until the end of the war in 1945. Describes how the camps evolved over time into factories for mass murder and the commandants, kapos, etc. kept the crematory fires burning.

This reader expects that Wachsmann's "KL" will become the standard work on this subject. Read more

Review:This was clearly a prejudiced book, written to prove a point. If you take that way, it was fine; if you are looking for a history, you won't find it. All the points are made and documented; but, even though I think many of the points are good, there was a lot more to the war than is presented or considered here. That said, he makes a good, solid case, and suggests some interesting interpretations.
Fun read for a chemist or other technical type. Read more

Review:This story is well written and keeps your attention. Needs to be a motion picture. Thank you France for helping the Allies as you did. As an American and lover of freedom, I now understand after reading this incredible story, that I have a debt of gratitude to the French. I highly recommend this book. Read more

Review:Fabulous ... A must read for anyone interested in cycling legends, interested in WW II history, the work of resistance fighters against the Nazis, and for those looking for a true definition of heroism. Read more

Review:'That woman' from the perspective of the German connections as WWII began. After all the decades gone by the story fascinates and
attracts us. There is something about the story that draws back and back again...the personal relationships, the luggage! the sheer
magnitude of the drama as it played out on a world stage poised for war, a war that was not going in England's favor. Read more

Review:While teaching high school English Literature, I thought we needed to read the book instead of an excerpt...
It is amazing how my students reacted... instead of rage they have displayed a loving gesture: they have been taking a minute of silence in the beggining of each of my classes... to remember those who did and did not survive Auschwitz. Read more

Review:This book is full of flaws. The author writes for the most part of the book about the war and most of us know what happened. Then he finally gets into the escape of Adolf Hitler without providing compelling evidence that he really (Adolf Hitler) arrived in Argentina. The author writes that U-518, U-880 and U-1235 transported Nazi loot and high ranking NS officials to Argentina. U-518 was sunk southwest of the Azores April 1945. U-880 was also sunk on April 1945 by the USS Frost. U-1235 was... Read more
