Note: I received this book through Amazon First Reads。

I love historical fiction，especially those around WWII， one of my favourite topics。When I saw this book available as one of the “first reads” （Amazon） choices for this month （May 2021） I read the synopsis and was absolutely interested， so I immediately downloaded it and gave it a priority status。The first 20% was terrific and got me hooked。 From there on it changed direction and became predictable and cheesy。The writing is not bad and there are some good dialogues， but as I have read so many boo I love historical fiction，especially those around WWII， one of my favourite topics。When I saw this book available as one of the “first reads” （Amazon） choices for this month （May 2021） I read the synopsis and was absolutely interested， so I immediately downloaded it and gave it a priority status。The first 20% was terrific and got me hooked。 From there on it changed direction and became predictable and cheesy。The writing is not bad and there are some good dialogues， but as I have read so many books about WWII and the Holocaust， I expected a lot more。 I was fooled by its concept。I think that this book will please the younger or romantic generation。It wasn’t for me。 。。。more

Absolute and utter trash。 Anyone who puts a Nazi and a Jew in a romance together AND calls it The Girls in the Attic can ABSOLUTELY go to hell。 What in the goyishe shit is this？？？ This should never be published as it's complete and utter antisemitism。 What is this compulsion/obsession with writing stories about Nazis and Jews falling in love？！？！ It's so disgusting and offensive。 There's no romance between someone who wants to wipe out the other person's existence。 Jesus fucking christ。 Absolute and utter trash。 Anyone who puts a Nazi and a Jew in a romance together AND calls it The Girls in the Attic can ABSOLUTELY go to hell。 What in the goyishe shit is this？？？ This should never be published as it's complete and utter antisemitism。 What is this compulsion/obsession with writing stories about Nazis and Jews falling in love？！？！ It's so disgusting and offensive。 There's no romance between someone who wants to wipe out the other person's existence。 Jesus fucking christ。 。。。more

Could Have Been ExcellentThis could have been an excellent novel， telling the story of a Nazi soldier who was firm in his beliefs about his leader and country。。。 until he wasn't。 Unfortunately， the book is rife with errors of grammar， punctuation， and usage; particularly irksome was the rampant improper use of commas and the lack of understanding about compound verb phrases。 （The author is British， but most grammar and punctuation rules are the same between US and UK English variants。） These iss Could Have Been ExcellentThis could have been an excellent novel， telling the story of a Nazi soldier who was firm in his beliefs about his leader and country。。。 until he wasn't。 Unfortunately， the book is rife with errors of grammar， punctuation， and usage; particularly irksome was the rampant improper use of commas and the lack of understanding about compound verb phrases。 （The author is British， but most grammar and punctuation rules are the same between US and UK English variants。） These issues were surprising; the book is put out by a legitimate publisher who would have had the book professionally copyedited and proofread。 Perhaps those language professionals were swayed by others to overlook the many errors as the author's writing style。 However， grievous language errors are not a writing style。。。 or at least they should not be。 I found myself more looking for the next error than reading the book for the story。 I also found the writing style flabby， with a lot of passive sentence structures and writing no-nos like false subjects （variants of “there is”） and impersonal passive expressions （sentences with “it” when that word does not refer to a specific， previously used noun） that obscure the subject。 If things like this don't bother you， you might enjoy the book better than I did。 。。。more
