This was a nice story, but the story didn't flow very well. It got hung up in descriptions which gave it a choppy feel. I probably won't read the author again.
I read this book on an airplane ride over to Spain and finished it in one sitting. Once I got to Europe, I visited Italy and all around me I saw these landmarks that were vividly described in Dan Brown's book. I think I like this book as much as The Da Vinci Code. The story is well-told, Dan Brown really knows how to create an intricate mystery that keeps his readers captivated.
A wonderful and bittersweet book about survival, healing and learning to live again. The letters written back from Gerda and Kurt where heartfelt and wonderful...I enjoyed everyone one and how Gerda matured from girl to woman I could see it in her letters. And on that note I think the art of writing letters has died but reading this book brought it back to life for me. If you want a good book of letters this is it!
