At the middle and the very end i would give it a 5 but I think the author could probably knock about 100 pages off and the book would be better. But this is my first successful read from the little library box in my neighborhood.

Overall a great WWI & WWII historical fiction pick. I was really impressed/shocked by the accuracy of a lot of the info in the book and I love how the author takes the time to inform the reader or the real people the book was based on.
