I’m sincerely disappointed in this book. It could have been so much more. Here are my issues:

1. What’s up with the title? It makes no sense. There are many characters in this novel and does not focus on one boy 2. The author did a fabulous job describing the emotions of the captured Jews. It was horrifying and descriptive. But the rest of the characters - the main characters - fell emotionally flat. I hoped they’d survive, but i never felt connected to them 3. I was glad to finish the book, but ironically Felt it wasn’t long enough. It was nicely written but it could’ve been so much better/detailed. 4. The ending sucked. It sort of wrapped things up, but also left a lot up in the air. An actual resolution would’ve been appreciated. It felt like the author simply got bored and decided to end the novel.
There are many more books in this genre that are much more satisfying than this one. I’d give this one 2.5 stars, and that’s a bit generous. ...more

The characters were well devolved and the author did justice describing how their choices shaped their lives. The only thing I disliked was the ending. There’s all of this build up, waiting to see if the sisters reconcile, but I felt a bit robbed by the ending. It was clear what happened, but i would’ve appreciated more depth. Overall, though, I enjoyed this novel. ...more

It offers amazing insight into the struggles of coping with BP, as well as the profound benefit of a quality support system...And there’s no better support than the Bird. There’s so much more to say about this book, but I can’t find the words. So, I’ll end the review by saying I highly recommend this novel. It’s a well-written biography of a brave man learning to cope with an unfair diagnosis with the love and support of his dedicated mom. ...more
