3.5 stars. I'm tempted to give this a four just because it became such a page-turner. The plot is the thing here. And if you're interested in architecture, the author is also an architect, so bonus. WWII stories always grab me in the gut because how can they not? I'm still amazed at what happened. I'm amazed at the evil and just plain insanity exhibited by the Nazis, and that so many innocent people were killed simply because one certifiable man was able to convince a bunch of sheep to join him. ...more

I picked this book up to accompany a day of walking around Paris as there were so few books focused on the city and a pleasant story based there would be interesting enough.

Though the book had a good premise and a lot of promise, it failed to grab my attention and I found the story disappointing and tedious. I kept hoping it would improve so slogged all the way to the end only to find that it went downhill all the way to the last page.

Wish I had my time back.
