bringmybooks's review against another edition

The writing in this one didn't really grab me, and almost immediately you're thrown into some pretty heavy stuff (even for a wartime historical fiction). Might just be the timing for when I tried to read it, but I feel pretty safe to say this one just isn't for me.
