Thanks, Katz! I haven't started it yet, but I am looking forward to it. Interesting how it's become a sort of "love it" or "hate it" kind of book. I can see which camp you are in :)



I got Death... for my husband for Christmas. He's a real WWII history buff. I also was hoping it might read like Devil in the White City, but it doesn't sound like it from your initial reaction.


It definitely is similar to Devil in the White City, Betsy, it just wasn't "grabbing" me right off the bat in the same way. And it's a long book too - I think it's 500 pages? Or 400-something? The best WWII book I have read recently was The Invisible Bridge.




Invisible Bridge is in my TBR stack. Maybe I'll leave the other to my husband!

How did you like it? I really liked it and it had me looking back for clues in the story as this mystery on aging, memory, and life, in general, came to a close. Lots of interesting things to reflect on. I thought it was a great book to end the year on. Any thoughts you would like to share I would love to hear them.





Even after reading both Pillars and World without end, I wasn't ready to leave Kingsbridge!




I seem to be having trouble finding anything to my liking in 2012!


I just read about this in Bookmarks & decided I didn't need to read it....thanks for the confirmation!


Oh, Becky, I heard him interviewed about this book and thought it sounding very interesting. Please let us know what you think.


Looks depressing. Think that I'll pass, too.

It is very good & I jumped right into it....after I get back from the grocery store I am heading to the couch with my book!
