Book Review: Black Cross
Summary: 5 Stars
Black CrossI have always been most interested in WWII, however fiction WWII books are not on my list of "good reads". I friend of my dropped this book off and said "read something different than all that horror stuff you read". I LOVE Stephen King, Dean Koontz and the like. It is a big book, to big for me to hold so I downloaded it to my Kindle. My Husband LOVES these kind of books. He like me, tends to go for the Fact books. He & I both started this book and we were HOOKED!!! I have never read a book like it. There is enough "fact" in it to make it read as a factual book. My Husband couldn't put it down either. IF you enjoy WWII novels, don't let this one pass you by. It's SUPER!!! I couldn't stop reading it At about the last 100 pages I was on the edge of the seat gripping my Kindle so hard, it's a wonder it didn't break! I was thinking things like "Kill the s.o.b.". The end just blew me away. The nurse, I felt such sorrow and joy for. It's a book that will make you angry, sad, happy, scared, all emotions possible. IF Gregg Iles only wrote these books, and they were all as good as this one, I'd read EVERYONE!!! He would be one of my new authors... May well be anyway. I really need to try another by him to see if his writing is as full of life as this was. I was "right there" with each person. I resented the phone or company as I wanted to get back to my book. I hope if your reading this, that you'll give "Black Cross" a try. It's well worth it!!
