Wanted to Read the Back after Watching the Movie
I wanted to see how well the movie followed the book. It was such a difficult time in History for all the people involved. The story is well told and I was impressed with all the statistical data and the storylines. I could have got it online at Barnes & Noble, but decided I wanted a printed book as opposed to the ebook.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Wouldn't know.
Actually it's hard to say how good the story is. The book was so damaged I had to throw it in the garbage. It was rain damaged. Pages permanently curled and the pages were disgusting.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Perfect
Couldn't bear to ever see the movie. If the book doesn't haunt your conscience or moral compass, then nothing will.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
