Ella Friloux’s Reviews > Lightning Down: A World War II Story of Survival > Status Update

It’s good it’s just moving slower than expected which is also fine but it’s hard to love it bc it kinda feels like a book report rather than a memoir/narrative (it’s written by a man who was indeed not there so that makes total sense) and I think it’s just lacking emotion yet has TOO much “trying to be super climatic and intense and gripping” language if that makes sense
