craftyhilary 's review for:

The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel

4.0

---

This was fantastic as an audiobook. It felt like a really knowledgeable person was telling you a story. Yes, it was a little overly detailed and frankly a little overdramatic in parts, but it was also fascinating and I learned a lot about both Nazi art theft and the war in general.

The movie ... takes a lot of liberties. In fact, although it mangles facts to create what should theoretically make a more intense narrative, I thought many parts of the book were more exciting overall. It's a tough book to adapt, really.

Challenge 16: An audiobook.
