My kids LOVE this book, they laughed hysterically almost the whole time I’ve reading it the last few nights.

It’s good, I keep wanting to pick it up and read more. It’s interesting, there’s a lot I didn’t know, but it also makes me mad.

It’s cute and fun and my daughter begs me to read it to her every night.

I love it so far

It’s totally holding my interest, I can’t put onto down. It’s interesting that we follow along on his investigation and know all his thoughts on people and situations.

Got it for my daughter on Kindle and that automatically added it here. It was cute and the illustrations were good.

It’s very good, worth another read for sure

I’ve been cruising through this book, it’s great. Touching and sad.

I’m surprised that I have stuck it out this long considering how much I dislike this format of writing in the first person and as though it’s all happening right now. Also the writing is a little forced, cheesy, and not particularly excellent. The fact that I’m still reading it and plan to finish attest to how interesting the story is and how interesting a story set in Cuna is….

I’m loving this book so far. I love the family that is portrayed in this book. It’s sad to read about all they endured. Opa specifically was a soldier in in WWI and WWII and then was stuck in the East side of the Berlin Wall the rest of his life, eventually punished for having disagreements with the communist leadership. It’s strong and interesting to see what they went through.

It was a little hard to get into at first but it’s hard to put down now.

I’m loving this so far. I realized that the author is English and I actually think that he takes a pretty even view of all sides and leaders and their abilities. There is so much detail I might need to reread it eventually.

I’ve started several books on D-Day but had a hard time maintaining interest. It’s hard to do just to a military campaign like this and keep it interesting, this book has succeeded at both. The narrator for the audio book is excellent.

One of the best books I’ve ever read and I’m only a quarter of the way through it.

I’m finding it hard to finish this book. The writing is good and the story is interesting but so far none of the characters feel that deep, relatable or endearing to me so I’m less drawn to it. The interesting part is how Mao deprived his people of books and how they didn’t even know what they were missing.
