I’m not sure I ever want to finish this disgusting book. While I was reading it, the book somehow wound up in the washing machine. Such a poetic end to a filthy book...

I am suffering through reading this book.. I haven't read anything by Anita Shreve before and if this is indicative of her style, it will be the last of her book I read..

I've read 139 pages and basically have the knowledge it usually takes 10 pages of a book to reveal. A very drawn out tale of a boy who is sent to live with his uncle during WWII. My interest in this book came from my interest in WWII. So far this book is like a mirage in the desert. You keep going and going but basically takes you nowhere..

I felt compelled to read this to try to understand the mind of this monster. My family lived through this time in Europe. My decision to stop was made for me when I went to change laundry and I found the book was a ball of wet pulp. I knew I'd have to reimburse the library for the book but all I could do was laugh. It felt righteous that such a filthy book was put to such an end. I will read it one day but not today.
