I didn't care for it either. To my mind it was too soft and sweet considering what was going on at the time. I think the book might serve as an introduction to the era for a very young person, giving them a platform to read more realistic pictures of Nazi Germany. But to anyone that has read books on the same subject it will not come up to par. JMO

That is often the mark of a good book; you get more of it out of each reading. Must try it!
