Title: Disappointing
Review: I'm really sorry to have to disagree with the reviewers below but, I was so disappointed I have to speak out. This book has all the trappings of a page turner; 2 boy genuises, WW2, the Holocaust, nazis, a magician, a strong man, escape artists, a golem and the Golden Age of the comic book industry. All that and homoerotic undertones in the main characters' friendship too! It promised to be good. Unfortunately it wasn't. The prose is written in an overblown, florid pulp-fiction style that sometimes works and but, just as often is distracting or annoying. The author also favors lengthy description of just about everything. While this kind of detail would make for some great visuals in a movie it drags down the plot of the book. I got a third of the way through this book and just had to give up. Quite frankly, I was bored.Bottom line: skip this book and wait for the movie kids.
