amberspej's review against another edition
Honestly this is one of those occasions where I think the movie is better than the book. I think Taika took this story in a better direction. I got to about 50% when I couldn't really stand listening to Johannes go on and on about Elsa and how he practically owned her. Just not my thing.

Boy begins a bleak life in Nazi Austria; raised by his mother to accept this authority—in order not to accidentally attract unnecessary scrutiny—she is secretly both anti-Nazi & hiding a Jewish girl.
