  2. It just didn't hang together . . . I didn't care about the characters--I could barely keep them straight.

  3. I am reading and quite enjoying it, but I have been to Berlin and have studied quite a bit about Germany just before and after the War.

    He does drop a lot of names, I'll admit.

    I find the common anti-Semitism as well as the denial of any arming of Germany quite amazing. How could they not see what was happening...

    I enjoy your blog.
