donna32 's review for:

The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein
DID NOT FINISH

I struggled to about half way through this book. I do not think this was a bad book at all but it was a lot more 'surface level's than I was expecting.  I was very surprised because Wein certainly hasn't been afraid to write about the dark side of the war in her other books.  Maybe she was aiming this at a slightly younger age group? 
 I was so disappointed because I absolutely love Wein's other books and I think the enigma machine is such an interesting aspect of the British war effort.  so I was really looking forward to this. I could not connect with the characters at all. I found I was having to check if the section was from Ellen or Louisa's perspective because they did not have distinct personalities. 
I honestly don't think I would have made it so far through if it hadn't been for jane. She is a fabulous character!!
