Title: so implausible I stopped reading halfway through
Review: reading the reviews here you would think this is one of America's great works of fiction... did people read the same book I did?the "what if Hitler were reincarnated?" angle is a great start, but the Nazi Youth/find his bones subplot wasn't compelling and didn't resonate with me at all -- I found myself counting the pages until those sections ended and the rest of the book picked up again.I made it about halfway through before I finally gave up. I could live with the unsympathetic characters and unrealistic situations, but yet another implausible plot twist was the last straw. I skipped to the last chapter just to find out how it ended and I am SO GLAD I didn't waste my time getting there.I think Boyll has potential but tried too hard to make it "exciting" and "gripping". instead it just got over-the-top and pointless.bottom line: you better REALLY like German history if you want to enjoy this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
