This book started strong with both the Laura chapters and the Freddie Chapters (they alternate), but got so bogged down in the middle it was a slog to finish. I did learn a good deal about WWI before the US entered the war and it was meticulously researched/written, but the overall plot could have moved a lot faster. We lost a lot of tension in the Faland hotel scenes.
