Night Soldiers by Alan Furst
2.0
Nothing against it but I just couldn't continue reading due to the prose style. The style is a slow methodical style, like a sidewalk storyteller telling a story and drawing the audience along and keeping them there for as long as possible... against their will.
Unfortunately, I've just been reading R. Cameron Cook's books where the writing just draws me along without effort. Whereas this one I had to concentrate to read and the author seemed to delight in writing about stuff which wasn't interesting. There's just no comparison coming off a fast paced book. No doubt other readers have enjoyed it since there are several in this series, but not for me.
