Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this book. I actually felt sorry for the German soldiers because they were just doing as they were told.

I stupidly watched the film after finishing the book.....I was not impressed with it!

The only thing I would say about the story, with so many different characters it was sometimes difficult to follow. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The writing style of Jack Higgins is one that does keep hold of your attention and he does describe the characters and the events well so that you can picture it happening. However the book for me just didn't leave lasting memories or anything that would make me want to go back and read the book again. It wasn't one that played on my mind when I wasn't reading it.

I used to have a mass market paperback of this book that had emblazoned across the top "NOW AN EPIC FILM!" My BF, seeing the cover from a distance, thought it said "NOW AN EPIC FAIL!" ?

Inaccurate blurb is my best blurb story for #seasonsreadings2016 ?
