Review

When I started to listen to this audio book I had no idea it was about the holocaust. As a second generation jewess who lost all her family except her mother this story is very meaningful. Warren Adler has written an amazing powerful and very disturbing story. Steve Ogden did an amazing job of bringing the character's to life. His portrayal of a secular Yiddish speaking Jew was amazingly accurate if he is not one of us. I commend him and thank him for his sensitivity. As an Orthodox Jew myself I think choosing a non observant character for Milton was absolutely the right choice, it really worked. He looked and acted like everyone else so he fitted in. Karla was hard to like, even at the end I still felt that way. I never could fathom what Milton saw in her? Her father sickened me and made me ashamed. I loathed all the players in this end game except Milton who I felt was a soft touch, a "Nebech" all still hating my people as if no time at all had passed. No spoilers from me, but the outcome pleased me. I am very glad I listened to this story even with a heavy heart because it really is memorable and the author is outstanding.
