Love Jodi’s writings!

The book was a little hard to follow, to a degree. Going between Sage, Ana, and Minka without really understanding, in the beginning, how each character connected to the other had me a bit confused. However, I pushed through, because Jodi’s level of research, character development, and overall writing style is amazing. I especially enjoyed the multiple character approach. She doesn’t have 1 person perform all the roles. She has a different person for each part. So, it brings the book alive - like watching TV. If she writes it, I will read it. Bravo!

A work of art

I have liked Jodi Picoult books for a long time, but I hadn’t heard of this one before. I didn’t read the summary or reviews or anything, so I had no idea what to expect. I just assumed I would like it because I like all the Picoult books I’ve read.

This story was AMAZING and the performances are wonderful and the plot turns did me DIRTY. I cried through most of the book, but I still loved it. My only ~warning~, not even a criticism, is that it is pretty graphic and disturbing at parts. This is such a wonderfully written and performed book, it is 110% worth the listen.

This is an amazing book.

This is one of the best Jodi Picoult book I've read. It's incredibly touching. It talks about World War II in Poland and Auschwitz. It talks about remorse and forgiveness. Thank you, Jodi!

Just missed being straight 5 stars

1) The book is very well written. Author good with putting words together, and creating well developed character She is a great storyteller and can hold the reader's attention.
2) The narrators are excellent. No overacting, they read the book with feeling and understanding . The voice for Leo was great for humorous parts,
3) The reason I did not give it 5 stars overall is because of two things. First, I do not enjoy listening to the horrors of the pain and suffering inflicted on Jews and other innocent people during World War II. I know what happened and how horrible and tragic it was and still is for our world. I just get very sad listening to the details of what the people endured at the hands of the Nazi regime The other reason it missed 5 stars is because it is too long. I believe the book would have been more effective if some parts were left out. It just went on and on until I was weary.
