needed more depth

Revisado: 08-27-24

The idea behind the story was very intriguing, but I felt like it wasn't well executed.

very YA and odd narration

Revisado: 05-03-24

Listeners should know that this is a Christian fiction novel. Nothing indicates it in the description. I figured it out about an hour in when the grown up characters were cheesing like they were in high school. I'm a Christian but don't tend to read Christian fiction because it's usually cheesy (as this was). Also, the narrator made the Germans sound like swamp witches and it was hilarious and strange at the same time.

these adults need a kick in the pants

Revisado: 01-05-24

This book is mostly about an 11 year old being abused by several disgusting adults. I wouldn't call the "friendship" on the blurb an actual friendship unless you enjoy toxic friendships where the adult actually kind of wants to kill you. So many themes in the book were touched on and never revisited or fleshed out. I really don't understand the hype. I feel like the most important message of the story lasted for maybe three pages at the end and other than that it was just a drag with a bunch of characters who need to get poked in the eye.

This is easily one of the best books I've ever listened to and the most incredible true story I've ever heard.

What the meth is wrong with these sociopaths?

Revisado: 10-10-22

WWII historical fiction is my favorite and most read genre. I also am a musician with a music degree. So a story set in WWII about a family of musicians should have been amazing for me. But NO. This entire book is just a bunch of pretentious, spoiled sociopaths whining about each other and their music. I HATE THEM. I hated this book. And how was Maggie so absolutely stupid as to tell a 13 year old, bratty, German collaborator the plans of her resistance cell? And then have the audacity to be shocked at the outcome? What was wrong with these idiots?

Why does this exist?

Revisado: 10-04-22

The vast majority of this book is just people complaining and arguing with each other. I LOVED Down Among the Sticks and Bones and now I hate the twins. I also did not like the narration at all. Maybe that's why this book annoyed me so much. This added no depth or plot and seemed woefully unnecessary.

shell of a book

Revisado: 02-08-22

Every bit of this book left me wanting more. It had the potential to be extremely engrossing, but there really was no character development and nothing really happened until everyone started dying.

phenomenal story

Revisado: 01-08-22

I loved everything about this!! Beautiful, fantastical, bittersweet story with a twist ending. Excellent narration. I was 110% sucked in and completely forgot about the world around me. Will be immediately starting the second book.
