Title: Couldn't put it down--and that's the problem!
Product review: I wanted to read this book for several reasons--I live in New Jersey, I'm of German descent, and I've developed an appreciation for WWII history through being force-fed the Hitler Channel by my husband. I didn't expect the book to be terribly time-consuming, as I'm usually a fast reader. However, the detailed description sucked me in and slowed me down considerably.Finally, after I'd spent most of a day reading (when I really shouldn't have) toward the end of the book it was mentioned that Nova had done a documentary on the topic.If you have the time to savor the images your mind will conjure up... If you want to read about the divers' childhoods and marital problems... If you really want to know the gory details of how an alcoholic ship captain died... then read the book.If you just want the basics of the story, I recommend watching Nova's show on VHS (soon out on DVD), called Hitler's Lost Sub.
