I found the book to be fascinating and strange. I really enjoyed the take on a Axis victory. I found the very end to be a little unclear on first glance but a little bit of thinking helped as well as see what others have said about the ending.
The point on the authenticity is discussed throughout the book and is central to understanding the ending.
