Title: First Book? It shows!
Product review: In recent years I've found a desire to know about WWII and put this on my pre-order list of books to read along with others. When the book arrived I read the back cover and realized that this author has several other "professions". I suspect this is his first book attempt! Within just a couple pages I realized the writing was amateurish and stilted. Charpters and thoughts ran together and it was often difficult to determine who, what and where we were in the plot. I'm one of those people who often starts a book, decides that it really isn't that interesting but finishes the book anyway. I seriously considered setting this book aside and forgetting it! Everyone "thinks" they have a book inside of themselves somewhere and Presniakov has done a great deal in his life and he THOUGHT he could write. Not! Skip buying the book and don't bother to get it at the library either. It's not worth the read.
