This book felt so long sometimes. It dragged on like so much and some of the things that happened felt predictable in a bad way. I did not like this, but I didn't hate it.  The book does start by painting a very different light of WW2 because they leave Europe just at the very early stages of the War and you hear about things from far away. 

I don't know.  This just didn't click for me. 3.5 stars.
