The first WWII novel I’ve ever read with a Russian heroine as the main character. Very well written and the fact that it’s based on a true story made it even better!

This was a fabulous fictional take on a real life Russian sniper. The audio book was excellent with a narrator who nailed the accents.

It was part character study and part war memoir based on the main character's memoir. I enjoyed the rigor in exploring details of sniper work. 

A story added for the book seemed silly at the time but was handled well and worked with the overall plot.

Amazing. One of the best books I’ve read in quite a while. It took me about 100 pages to really sink my teeth into it but once I was there, I could hardly put it down.
