I picked this up only a few days ago at the time of writing and not long after I read the book. When I finished it, I had mixed thoughts; the novel was a unique and intriguing take on a historical fiction story that could attract particular types of readers, but I felt that storylines similar to this novel were done before, and it didn't push the envelope as much as I expected. Still, what I read was enjoyable, but not worth rereading due to the content inside. Not to mention it's short and could've been longer.

The book tells the events that happened in David's life before and during World War Two, where he describes some details, most importantly moving from Poland to Australia and back again but I don't understand why he would do that, considering the circumstances. The ending was alright, with David growing up and the book doing a fast forward. That's it.… (altro)
