It was worth it though, and worth your TBR list!<br /><br />Melody - thank you!<br /><br />Simon - this book is written so well, if you didn't know better, you'd think this was actual history!<br /><br />Melissa - I know! I've got a sea of WWII books. I normally have to spread them out so I don't get depressed, but this one did not have that effect.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-75669761346733713492009-04-13T20:56:00.000-04:002009-04-13T20:56:00.000-04:00James - As I forwarded to you via e-mail, Owen did...James - As I forwarded to you via e-mail, Owen did contact me and told me that indeed a screenplay is in the works. It has the potential to be a powerful yet subtle film, one that could go far. Let's cross our fingers!<br /><br />Beth - there ARE so many WWII books out there...I've read so many of them. This one ranks in the top 5. It is worth reading!<br /><br />Jackie - You are right, so many WWII books are total misery. I didn't feel that way with this one, strangely. You finish the book with hope alive in your heart, which makes it so unique.<br /><br />Carrie - it is List-worthy!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-32280408493650938122009-04-13T14:05:00.000-04:002009-04-13T14:05:00.000-04:00I'd never heard of this one before, but am adding ...I'd never heard of this one before, but am adding it to my reminder list! If I wasn't already swimming in WWII books for the challenge I'd get a copy right away.

As Farm Lane Books said, I always hesitate before picking up books about war. But I think I will give it a try - and link you and CB of course for the suggestion.

Your review has made me see that there is more to this novel than just another (albeit alternate) war story of enemies finding friendship.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-65126120805485935772009-04-11T07:58:00.000-04:002009-04-11T07:58:00.000-04:00Hey, glad to see more people reading Resistence an...Hey, glad to see more people reading Resistence and thanks for the link. And I will say yes, it would make a great movie, in the right hands. As I recall, there are not many action sequences in the book. The wrong hands would add in action sequences with explosions and motorcycles. That would ruin it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.com
