Title: Tough to put this book down
Review: Am trying to learn as much as I can about WWII and need to research this book to find out how much of the background is accurate realizing that this is a book of fiction. I would agree with another reviewer who found some inaccuracies and some inconsistencies with the time period in which this story takes place but having said that the book was nearly impossible to put down. Interesting premise, well constructed plot, and good character development. Follet gave me a sense of what occupied France must have been like and under what terror the French had to live. Perhaps I am not a professional reviewer but this book worked for me as a gripping piece of historical fiction.Would definitely recommend it to a friend along with Eye of the Needle.Update: If I am not mistaken BBC has made this into a mini-series that is quite good.
Is the review positive or negative?
