Sorry, just wan't for me. Sigrid was unlikable in a harsh, cold way, the dialogue was stilted and the sex scenes were awkward, not even including the several times male characters got a kick out of placing Sigrid's hand on their erections. Plus, and I'm not sure here, but I think it might be a bit harder to have sex in a movie theater seat(something involving very skinny people who wouldn't take up too much room in the seat, and one of them having very flexible knees) than the author made out. I wanted to like this book because of the perspective of the good German, but I'd recommend Stones From the River or The Book Thief over this unpleasant effort.
