That’s how long it took me to read this book.
It was very hard to get into for me. Simply because the names and Nazi officer titles took me a while to get a grip on.
Then I only read this book at work. And between my co-workers interesting conversations, the TV in the lunchroom and my desire not to tear up at work, it took some work.
But I was determined to finish it. Now I can watch the movie. 🙂
I thought I was the only one who hadn’t seen it, but 117 people have it on hold. I didn’t think that this movie from 2004 would have such a long waiting list.
Now I need to find a “light” book to read. Any suggestions?

I couldn’t read that book or watch the movie. I am not a fan of that type of subject. I have a book review blog with a number of different types of books on it. I have just read and reviewed “The Secret Life of Bees,” by Sue Monk Kidd for the book club I am in. Here is a link to my book review blog: http://thatbritishwomansbookreviewblog.blogspot.ca/
I haven’t seen or read that either. I recently realized that almost all the Holocaust books I’ve read have been children’s or teen books. I have seen other movies like the Shoah series, The Pianist, etc. I haven’t read any super-cheerful books lately!
I haven’t read the book but the movie was exquisite. It would be hard to read at work, though. I haven’t read any cheery things – ai am just reading work guff!
Reading for work is not fun.
