kdterry 's review for:

The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
2.0

I'm intrigued how they're turning this into a movie. The actual story of Jan and Antonina is remarkable and movie worthy, but the author diverts away from that from time to time. If I recall, there was a whole chapter on beetles/bugs - I realize the bugs were part of a collection from a Jewish man in the ghetto, but goodness it was info overload.

I love anything regarding WWII and books being made into movies, so this was a no-brainer for me to read, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it though.
