So I think it says volumes about how good this follow up was that you still felt it was a strong read (if not quite as good as CNV). I still need to read it myself! But I'm very pleased you loved it.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-53351251050711309422013-12-03T18:08:35.023-06:002013-12-03T18:08:35.023-06:00I just reviewed Rose Under Fire yesterday lol!
I...I just reviewed <a href="http://bookmarkedpages.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/review-rose-under-fire-by-elizabeth-wein/" rel="nofollow">Rose Under Fire</a> yesterday lol! <br /><br />I like what you said about Rose being forced to grow up - I never really thought about it that way but she definitely did mature over the course of the novel. I thought it was a brilliant novel that deeply affected me.

The stylistics got in the way for me to really get into the book and enjoy it. I'm glad this one is written in a different format. I definitely plan to make time to read this before the year is over.

But so fantastic that the author was able to do so! Holocaust books are ALWAYS difficult to read because of, well, everything about that time period but this sounds worth the pain.Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.com
